The meds may not be the right prescription for you. Everyone reacts to medications differently, and the wrong medication can be much worse than none at all. Please discuss this with your doctor so that he can better help you. Do not simply stop taking the medication, as this can be very dangerous.

Also, if it were me, I'd look into grief counseling. I know many who this has helped.

Best of luck to you.

Depression goes away only with medical help.Its not sorrow nor melancholia.I know that for sure cause i do suffer from depression.Sometimes ppl think they r cured from depression and stop taking pills but thats a big mistake.Pills must be taken for a long time.U must take them or else u will start having phobias,panic attacks and feel suicidial.And those r only a few of the symptoms.The doctor DOES NOT want ur money.He knows his job.Sorry for ur loss.Be well!

I'm very sorry for your loss.

May I suggest, dump the doctor...tell him you want to be weened off the medication. That terrible pain and sorrow you feel is perfectly natural.."Perfectly" - "Natural". Do not rob yourself of these feelings by medicating life's experiences. This IS NOT the only time this is going to happen. I have lost 75 percent of my family, many friends, lovers, even pets. Each time you work through it, you see the picture a little bit clearer. If you medicate to ease the hurt, you will never learn how to cope.
