Depression

Options
Hi Friends,
How do you get through depression when you want to sleep? I'm on Lexapro, and I'm not as zombie like when I was on Fluoxetine.....maybe I'm also just tired from my work week as a teacher? Thoughts? I want the depression to go away.

    I was on zoloft for most of my life (27, started at 11) and only when I was older did I realize that it was the reason I felt like such a zombie. We added in wellbutrin to see if that would help and I loved it because it actually gave me more energy.

    I'm on Wellbutrin ONLY now and the opposite effect from the zoloft has happened, although it has gotten better with time. Starting it, I was anxious, nervous, jittery, couldn't sleep, etc. Now I've been on it for a while and it's gotten a bit better as long as I keep consistently taking my meds. Have you asked your doctor about possibly switching or changing something with your medication?
