Answers:
Heck yeah I have bad days, and you want to know what.? I wouldn't have it any other way. Having ups and downs is NORMAL. My meds help keep my downs from getting really bad, and help me to not sweat the small stuff (at least help be better at that). If you were happy all the time you might as well be a zombie. The goal to medication is to help you feel ALL your emotions, not just the depression or anxiety.Health Question & Answer
Medication is not intended to FIX everything so yes I still have some really BAD days even with medication. I take a lot of meds and still I have to see a therapist every week to stay out of the hospital or not harm myself. Bad days are a normal part of life but when you are mentally ill they happen without reasons sometimes and that is what the medication is meant to help BUT sometimes it does not which makes me sometimes question if I have the right drugs yet.Health Question & Answer
I take Wellbutrin SR (150 mg) in the morning, and Lexapro (10 mg) in the evening, for depression and anxiety. I've been taking that for over a year and a half, and it's working very well for me.
There are still bad days, but not nearly as bad as before I started the medication. How often... depends on what's going on. Sometimes a couple times a week - other times couple times a month.Health Question & Answer

definately.. remember the meds only take care of the symptons, u should still seek out a therapist. they usually help you cope with your triggers and teach you techniques to notice them and handle them. i have been on my meds for three years now. i am able to spot when my attitude or tone is getting out of line or when i am not handling the environment i am in and need to take some time by myself. just dont stay in that state for a long time. sometimes the meds may need to be adjusted if you are starting to have more bad days than good. goodl luck..

I've been taking them for about 1 1/2 years with a month off last fall because I was doing so well. I had to go back.
I do have bad days but I won't tell my psychiatrist yet. I know that she will want to raise my dosage.
There have been a lot of times that I get to feeling down, but no suicidal thoughts.
I also have daily anxiety attacks and I'm trying to keep calm when that happens. If I stop and breathe deeply I can get over the worst parts.Health Question & Answer
