can meds have a lasting effect

[luciferafaye]

ive been put on multiple meds just bc of experimenting to see if theyd work on depression.. Zoloft, seroquel, septalaphram, geodon and respirdol. I realized at some point i felt like a zombie..i couldnt taste or feel and didnt care about anything, such as hygiene, hobbies, friends or family, grades..it didnt matter. I felt less than depressed, like an empty shell. So i quit taking those meds and some of the things have gone away but i still feel very vague..like in a dreamlike state..it had slowly gotten to this point but after the geodon, i went completely over and i havent been the same since...its really scary and i wish id never told anyone i was sad bc sad beats the emptiness i feel now..i deal with it, but sometimes it gets to me...really bad

multiple as in at the same time? That sounds like a big cocktail of meds,Im not a doctor but wouldnt surprise me if it had a longlasting effect on you.Maybe some counselling to deal with it might help though?wish you the best! lily

It sounds like this concoction of drugs is wayyyy too much for you.. I had this kind of experience on Lithium, it was before I was diagnosed with BP and I had major depression for 2 years, it was resistant, nothing would shift it. I also had pyschotic symptoms.

I was on a cocktail of Lithium, Zoloft, Trazadone, Sulpiride and Procyclidine..

It definitely calmed me down! The only way I can descibe it is as Catatonic... I didn't speak, I didn't move, I didn't react to my kids and didn't even go to the toilet.

It was a existance, like I was frozen.

This can be sorted hun, this little experiment is costing you time out of your life and it needs to stop..

The Seroquel will make you very tired, it is better for manic symptoms.

You need to see your pdoc asap and get it sorted..

This emptiness will go away, I don't know about your depression, but it will lift..ride out the storm...

Hope this helps x
