Depression meds

Hello

I am currently being treated for anxiety, and have been on meds for about 6 weeks. I thought I was doing really well up til now, but now I am feeling rather flat and sad. I have used the same medication a few years ago, and it really worked, along with CBT.

My question is, has anyone experienced where a certain AD doesn't work as well the second time round. Is this possible, or am I just having a bad day?

Thanks.

It could be that you're just having a bad day, I still have bad days even though I finally found the right medication to help me move forward. The best option would be to talk to your GP if it persists too long, the other option may be you need to increase your dosage. I was feeling really down for a few weeks not long ago and the Doctor increased my dosage and I've been ok since.

Hope that helped
