I’ve been on my antidepressant since I was 14, it’s always worked fine but now it’s not even close to feeling like it’s working…is this normal? Do I need to change it? I’m on the highest dose…

      It is normal for medications to stop working, but why it happens and what to do about it depends on the person

      It's normal, I had to change my meds through highschool because I needed something stronger

      Definitely talk to your doc and/or therapist. If they’re not helpful, get new ones.

      this could be two different things… either your tolerance has gone up on the med because of the duration of time you’ve been on it, or you’ve been on it so long you’re not fully remembering the depth of your feelings when you were off of it!! either way you should talk to your therapist and or psychiatrist about this. they’ll be able to better guide you since they know more about you and your medical history! best of luck!! <3
