Hi there

I'm glad that the anti-depressants are working. I still think you should discuss with your doctor the "dead alive zombie" feeling. Honestly that may not be a bad feeling at this point in your treatment. Maybe it means that you are starting to have some feelings and it's a good sign. Maybe it's a bad sign that needs to be dealt with. I really don't know. I agree that you wouldn't want to live your whole life like that, which is why you need to address it with your doctor. With all that being said, don't expect any antidepressants to suddenly make your life great. The medications should help get you to a place where you start "living" your life instead of sitting on the sidelines. You still need to get out there and find what makes you happy. Go see your doctor and give us an update. I'm curious to see what he/she says. I wish you all the best.
 
The thing is that they ARE working. I am less apathetic and I feel better.
I feel better than I used to. It's just that I'm not cured at all... and I feel empty inside.

I also made the mistake of doing a MADR depression self test and getting lower results than I had before. So basically the doctor said "continue with these pills and if you want to I can follow it up in TWO MONTHS".

I'm afraid of quitting them. First because it's just plain stupid and secondly because I would risk my life.
I'm afraid of changing because I DO feel better than I used to.
I'm afraid of continuing because I feel like a "dead alive" zombie and I would hate to look back and have lived a life like this.

And you would be a fool to stop any meds without discussing it with your doctor.

It is still just chemistry. If the dosage or med prescribed isn't working well for you, discuss it with the Doctor or do some research to see if there is anlternative that you might discuss with your Doctor to see if it is right for you.

You're feeling better. Start there and keep building. Clean up your diet and get some exercise.
