It's not just the regular feelings of depression, it's like ten times worse, to the point where you start thinking about suicide to relieve the pain. I've only had a few of these things and it's lasted only a few hours. I had one just a few hours ago, but suddenly it went away and now I feel fine. It's a very painful feeling and I'm afraid I'll having another one of these attacks... I had them during the summer as well and it really ruined my summer. Does anyone else experience this? Am I bi polar? I was thinking I might be bi polar because I have lots of mood swings, and one minute I feel happy then the next I'm depressed.
I'm on Paxil right now... have been taking it since March 2003. When I got off the pills in the summer I started having these "black hole" spells. I started back on the Paxil in September. They raised the dose to 20 mg. But, when I went back to the doctor to get more medicine and a check up, the doctor put me back on 10 mg. Could this be bad? She must have been mistaken on the dosage.
Also I've been having problems with headaches. I've had a headache for almost 3 days straight. I have headaches often but not for this long at a time. Could I have a brain tumor? Or is it just stress? |
Stress can definetley bring headaches, along with meds. I've had headaches all my life, off and on, but had it for nearly 3-4 months straight. Doc said it was due to sinus, alergies.....now I know it's first sign of too much stress, which can lead to depression. I am on paxil and wellbutrin, am feeling lots better, but I too have a headache, not bad, but there. I really think it's from the meds...as I have reduced my stress 10 fold. Good luck, hope this eases some of your worries.
