Re: Late night confessions.

These behaviors can be symptoms for any number of issues. You really can't follow someone else's treatment model and hope it works out.

Re: Late night confessions.

Exactly. (anon they were asking)

Just yesterday saw friends discussing their experiences with the same depression med on FB, ranging from "this actually made me want to die" to "this is the first time I've been able to get out of bed without a huge struggle in 15 years". It definitely requires someone to work with you as an individual and the willingness to try different things (and in different doses) over time to find a solution that works, and that's even if it is a chemical imbalance and not something else going on.

And then there's cases like my mother's bipolar, where she took one medication for 20 years, then it stopped working suddenly and we found her wandering downtown unable to speak and she was in and out of hospitals for the next five years while they tried to find a combination that both worked and didn't have debilitating side effects.

Psych meds definitely are not something to go into without expert professional guidance, and ideally people around you who are familiar enough to say "hey, something doesn't seem right here, are you okay?" when you may not be the best judge of your own state of mind. It is a hard road, but not impassible.
