28 Jul My Antidepressant Isn’t Working Anymore

You know your antidepressants used to work but they don’t anymore when you say…

• “I used to be able to laugh and smile without having to force it but now it seems that I’m back at square one.”

• “Some days I can not concentrate at work and just feel like leaving early.”

• “The biggest thing I noticed is that I am having this feeling of guilt and worthlessness again.”

• “It used to improve my flat moods but now I feel low and down everyday.”

Does any of this sound like you?

According to research, about 33% of patients who take antidepressants experience a suboptimal response to medication. This indicates that you are experiencing little or no improvement on your depressive symptoms. This may be due to genetics, a new medical condition or a new stress in your life. Deciding to stop taking your antidepressant is not the answer but it might be the time to think about alternative options. You don’t have to accept your depressive symptoms as your normal.
