Should I feel obligated to take anti-depressants after an assumed 'suicide attempt' (hospitalized)? I have been on them for a month now; gained 10 pounds, cannot sleep and am suffering from serious ED. I am twenty five... Help! Can my insurance cut me off

it could just be that you are on the wrong medication - there are so many different anti-depressants. I suggest you go and see your doctor and have a good chat about it - talk about the different options available to you.

At twenty five your body is still changing and your hormones are still in overdrive- many medications aren't regulated for young adults. I personally do not believe it is obligatory to take medication after an attempt. What exactly happened?

Get a referral from your doctor to see a specialist. When dealing with depression doctors do not have the amount of knowledge that is needed to deal with it. You sound like you are on the wrong antidepressant. I know specialists are expensive but, believe me, it is really worth it. I don't know about your insurance company as I live in Australia.

For a month(back in April)and the meds aren't even to a therapeutic level(normally they take 6 weeks or so to become therapeutic)but....I would say with my experience that you might be on a medication which might not agree with your imbalance,,,it could be either too much of it,too short a time on it or the wrong med all together,,please don't stop taking it till the med doc has been contacted. Oh,your insurance can NOT cut you off,you are being treated for a mental disorder,stop making problems where they don't exist.
