    Default What's wrong with me?

    Okay, lately I have been having immense cravings, eatting more, my face has broken out again and I am still tired all the time. If I keep going at this rate I am going to get fat and ugly, lol. I thought it seemed like PMS at first but I just started a new pack of pills last week, so, that's not it. It seems like all I want to do is lay around the house, be lazy and eat, lol because I am tired. I am trying to lose weight but when I cut back I get hungry. I don't want to work, I don't want to leave the house period. You think it's depression? What the hell...

    Stress can make you eat more. Ive been mega stressed lately but found my secret to chill out. I shut the bathroom door, light up some pretty candles and soak in a tub full of epsom salts.
    I have no idea if it is depression (Im no psychiatrist) but it may also be SAD or many other things.

    I suggest you go see someone if this has been going on longer than a month.

    Is the new pack of pills a differant type of bithcontrol pill, If so sometimes it take a week or more before your body get ajusted to the new hormones. I also read you post where you was really sick! With that condition you had I know you had to take antibiotics. When you takes those antibiotics they affect your birthcontrol pills. Your birthcontrol pills can not to it jobs well. Which means when you are all clear from the antibiotics your body may act like you just started the pill again! The doctor should have told you that in the er and in the follow up visit. Becasue you can get pregnant while taking antibiotics and birthcontrol pill. Call your dotor ? I do hope you feel better! you been thru so much here a big hugg.

    You must have me confused with someone else hon. I haven't took any antibiotics in at least 4 months. I haven't been to the ER in years. I have been taking the same pill for five years now. I haven't had sex but once in the past month and that was two weeks ago. I doubt it's pregnancy.

    If it continues and it worries you, you could see your physician. They'll run a few blood tests just to make sure everything in your body is ticking along nicely; making sure you're not anemic, your immune system is strong, your liver and kidneys are doing their thing, and your thyroid is putting out the right amount of hormone. Oh, and what's up with sex once a month? Ouch. Hope you feel better soon.

    Haha, between Effexor and the birth control pill I forgot I had a vagina, lol. I talked to my doc about it and she said the only recommendation is to switch anti-depressants which is not an option since I have tried so many already. There isn't anything out there FDA approved to enhance the female libido yet either. The one week I am off my pill is when I get horny. Plus we have been together for 8 years so it's obviously not a daily routine anymore.

    Yeah, unfortunately just about all the anti-depressant drugs out there have a negative effect on libido. The best one in this regard is Wellbutrin, but you're right...... staying on what is working for you is probably the best bet. Sex as a daily routine? I try not to think about it as a chore

    Well, it's not but we aren't together daily anymore. It wouldn't be a problem at all if I had desire. They have Viagra and Levitra, etc. for men but nothing for us women. And I KNOW the guys would love it if we can turn it on like they can. I tried Wellbutrin, made my anxiety a lot worse, although I did lose 4 lbs. in one week. That might have been from pacing the hallways too though

    You can take Welbutrin along with some other antidepressants, and it will counteract the side effects from the other antidepressant, but not really change how the other antidepressant works for you. Maybe you can take it with the antidepressant that you're already taking? I did this when I was on Zoloft, and I'm going to start taking it again with the Lexapro that I'm on now.
    Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.

    Something for you to chew on...... you said that your libido is improved one week a month when your hormonal contraceptive pills aren't kicked in...... there is A LOT of medical literature out there that shows decreased libido with combined hormonal birth control pills. It may benefit you to change your pill to a lower dose birth control pill. The lower the dose, the fewer the side effects. Also, there is some anecdotal reports out there that women with decreased libido on the birth control pill can do better by changing to the NuvaRing because NuvaRing only exposes a person to 15 mcg of estrogen a day. May be something to discuss with your personal physician.

    Definitely something that needs to be discussed with a physician because combining those drugs can cause serotonin syndrome... a potentially fatal side-effect.

    Yes, Adrenaline I am screwed there too. I have endometriosis severely so I must be a higher dosage of the pill. Other alternatives are to have laproscoptic surgery every year, take male hormones or to have a hysterectomy which no one will do at my age.

    I took 5-HTP for a while and got extremely agitated and hyper, side effects of having to much serotonin. The Effexor has worked better for me than Prozac, Paxil or Serzone (off the market now) and the good news is I only have to take 75mg of it. I am very sensitive to medicine so a low dosage usually works best for me, especially since Effexor can make you very drowsy. I hope to eventually be off of anti-depressants completely. My parents started me on Prozac when I was 12 for being a teenager basically. I tend to think that because of taking these meds at such an early age it has caused me to have a dependency on serotonin, I crave carbs too.

    I'm all out of suggestions I DO believe that after having been on serotonin reuptake modifying drugs for many years, there is some issue of dependency and potential "rebound" depression. I think that in this situation where you want to eventually wean off the medication, as with most other things in life, it takes a lot of inner strength and support from loved ones to get over the hump. I don't have any doubt that you'll get there though

    I'd say you sound pretty burnt out.....I know after going and going and going for a few months all of a sudden I fall into a slump that sounds almost exactly like what you're going through... Just get some rest, try try try to eat healthy....veggies and lean meats and drink LOTS of water....no pop or caffeine! When I get into that routine it seems to help me get back on track. For the past two weeks I've been feeling rather ick, and today I forced myself to run on my treadmill for a half an hour.....I'm starting to feel a lot better just from that.
