Severe depression...please help...

[Unregistered]

I have a problem. I am on prescription medication for depression and I want to quit. The drugs I am taking are called Risperdal and Celexa. The problem is once you start taking these types of medications its almost like you have to keep taking them because the withdrawals are very difficult. The worst part if it is, even though I'm on anti-depressants, I still suffer from severe depresstion. They are very powerful medications, but I know that God is more powerful. That is why I am requesting a prayer. I know if someone prays for me, the withdrawal symptoms won't be so bad. I ask God everyday to heal me of my anxiety and depression, but haven't really felt any relief. I am still afraid of what is going to happen to me. I need some words of encouragement. Please, pray for me and ask God to take away the bad feelings that I am having. I wish I had never started taking this medications.

Hi there! Depression and anxiety often do require medical treatment. Often, mulitple medications need to be tried. It is a chemical imballance and it is very problematic. I also know that it is hard to have faith and trust when one feels so horribly. The good news is that God does not depend on how we are feeling in order to help us. God is always with us and always helping us. If the doctor you are seeing does not help you, get another one and another until you find someone who will get to an answer that does help. God can and often does work through doctors and counselors to heal these problems.

Loving God: I know it is so hard for you to know how much your child is hurting right now. Enable this person to rest in your arms. Let there be deep sleep and peaceful relaxation. Bring people into this situation who will know exactly what to do and how to help. Never leave this person feeling alone and terrified. When the anxiety starts to flood up, enable this person to feel your presence pushing it down into nothiningness. Take the energy that is being used for sadness, hopelessness, despair and anxiety and turn it into a force for goodness, joy, peace, Christian action and love. In Jesus name, Amen.

I have daughter who has depression problems. She felt the same as you did until she was put on the right medications and dosage. She is great now! Don't give up on the meds or yourself. I pray to God our Father the Doctors find the right meds and dosage for you. Amen.

Depression is a medical condition like diabetes or heart condition. One someone has the illness they need to take medication.

God Bless YOU!
