Changing Antidepressants effect on mind and brain

[Naynay17]

I've been through so many medication I'm only 22. I've been suffering with depression for over 10 years and I'm in a worse state now I've been put on Quentiapine now and I think I'm losing my mind on this drug my head hurts and sick and can't function properly or do anything. Is anyone else on this and when will the side effects go away I'm only on 50mg at the moment. I was (Veneflaxine but that was bad too)

Hello and welcome to the forum. Finding the right antidepressant is difficult and can take a while. It sounds like quentiapine may not be the right antidepressant for you if it is making you feel that way. I could not tolerate it myself. I think you need to decide if you can cope with waiting to see if the side effects wear off. If you cannot then I would try something else.

Hi thank you for the reply, I have been through 5 different antidepressants already there not many more choices. I hope the side effect go away soon. I have a neurology appointment in a month I have really bad head pains and feeling spaced out everyday and can not function. been on quentiapine for 3 weeks.

I can relate to that. The only one I can take is vorteoxatine. I really hope the quentiapine works for you. I hope your appointment goes well.
