I am in need of advise from someone who is going thur what I am. 2 years I have been taking meds and it seems to be not working or is it me? I have talked to my doctor and he tells me that some meds bottom out with people and it stops working, I am taking 2 different kinds now but feel the same the meds I am taking are wellbutrin and effexor, so if anyone is dealing with this please let me know.

Hi hun


I dont take either med but I wanted to let you know that it seems to be a common occurence that certain meds do stop working after time... The best thing to do is talk to you doctor about adjusting dosage or switching to one of the other meds out there..


Also I would recommend you try Therapy along with the meds if you are not currently doing that.. it really helps you learn ways to deal with the 'down times' and seems to boost the meds effectiveness in my book..


Others who take those meds may have more suggestions too,,, I Just wanted to let you know you were heard...
