Hey guys need some advice.?

I have been diagnosed with depression and i am taking meds. Why is it though that one minute i feel perfectly fine and the next i just feel really down, does anyone know?Hey guys need some advice.?
If you have been recently diagnosed and commenced on treatment this may be a significant factor. Anti-depressant therapy can take up to two to three weeks before an individual feels any benefit and it may just be a question of being patient. Response varies between individuals





Some symptoms may be residual, even with treatment so your medical practitioner could help by reviewing your treatment, possibly increasing the dose or even trying a different anti-depressant if felt appropriate. Depending on the cause (that is if there is an identifiable one) s/he may also explore with you the possibilities of psychological or behavioural therapies as an adjunct.





Another factor may be other stresses you may be experiencing in life, as often people do. These may significantly affect your mood, especially if you are feeling quite fragile. You may benefit from supportive independent counselling, perhaps you could explore this avenue yourself





Hope this helpsHey guys need some advice.?
Your not on your own. I have this problem all the time. Its a constant battle to stay positive. I'm sorry i don't have the answer. But you got to try and appreciate all the wonderfull things in your life and next time you feel down, just thing 'oh well, in a short time i'll feel fine again' and just fight through it without resorting to drugs or a cheeseburger.
You dont mention how long you've been on your medication? If you have only recently started taking them then they may not be working to their full potential yet. Some types of anti-depressants can take up to 8 weeks to work properly. If you've been on your medication for a long time you may need to go back to your doctor and ask for an increase in dose, or to try another anti-depressant. Some people have to try a few before finding one thats suited to them. Now Im on the right combination of medication, my mood is SO much more balanced and doesnt dip for no reason as much as it used to.





I think keeping yourself busy when you feel yourself getting low is important. I find going for a walk helps lift my mood, or I read or answer other people's questions on here.

Could be that you need a mood stabiliser like Lithium which is geared more towards the bipolar side of depression and cuts out any mood swings.
No, not really just a typical symptom of depression i suppose - i feel the same sometimes. I sympathize with you ;( :)
Depression is hard to deal with. Your medicine should be helping tho, so I would contact your doctor and let him know what's up. He may need to adjust your dose or switch your medicine.
I guess it must be 'clinical' depression which is hard to cure but you WILL get better just try to stay calm. I hope you get better soon. Namaste

yes - you are sad by some reason';

go on a holiday or move to a different part of the county or world
It's to do with chemicals in your brain. Thats all I know. X
