Don't know what to do anymore!

Hey Liam,

Right ....So you are depressed? And your on alot of meds which are leading you to overdose. Have you spoken with your psychiatrist about taking you off medication? Drugs arent for everyone and cognitive therapy only works if your willing to work it. It takes time to have a paradigm shift . It is not something like a pill that only truly puts a bandaid on it. Next I would say try to understand that depression is like a drug addiction to...you never quite get rid of it and have to learn to live with it just dont give it so much power. If you already have the answer to all the remedies for depression that are out there then nobody can help you. Keyword 'You'. I wish you luck in riding yourself of the bondage of self.

How are you doing? If you've tried a lot of different medication and they all don't work for you, I'd recommend you transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. TMS is typically used when other depression treatments haven't been effective. For each TMS session the patient sits in a specially designed treatment chair. As TMS uses magnetic pulses, then the TMS coil will be positioned over the patient’s head. The TMS physician then measures the patient’s motor threshold, by administering several brief pulses. Patients are required to wear earplugs during treatment for their comfort and hearing protection, as TMS produces a loud clicking sound with each pulse, much like an MRI machine. The patient can stop a treatment at any time by asking the staff member present.

 

You need to discuss your medication with your psychiatrist if you feel it is not helping you.  Sometimes these things can be trial and error getting them right and finding out what is good for you.
