When Meds Fail: Coping with Mental Health Medication Changes

I've had this happen several times. Kept maxing out different meds. What finally worked for me was a combo of Spravato (intranasal ketamine), ECT, and counseling.

You definitely should talk to your doctor so you can fix the medication 🖤

If they only recently stopped working, I might consider whether it’s seasonal depression kicking in to exacerbate your problem. I just started taking a multivitamin with vitamin D, Vitamin C, and B12, and I’m feeling a lot better than I did a couple weeks ago when I was on the verge of a meltdown.

Ah well this week I took a step back and realized it was my period. But also I usually talk to my doctor. Most of the time it’s side effects I get and they say stop or switch it.

Talk to your doctor about changing meds, increasing your dose or even stopping them and trying out other treatments like therapy. Most importantly share with others, don't stay alone cause there are many solutions to try.

Agreed with everyone else about seeing your doctor. I hope you find the relief you’re looking for!

Definitely talk to your doctor. Your dosage could need to be changed or you might have to change medications all together, that can happen sometimes. Until then, try to keep in mind any coping mechanisms that have helped in the past

I stopped taking mine. Might not be for everyone and you should always talk to your doctor but it’s been the best thing for me so far

talk to your doctor that prescribed them!
