Suggest Treatment For Depression

I have been becoming more and more dysfunctional for the last six months due to what I d call a severe depression. It has stopped me from being functional by 85 percent. I forget things, feel down, drink alone at night etc and on and on. The depression was brought on by intense financial and work stresses as well as new relationship responsibilities and two full time jobs. Sales mgr. day.... Real Estate agent nights weekends... plus divorced 2 years, and a new family of 3 to be responsible for. I finally gave in to agreeing to going on drugs to help. I m on 150 xl welbutrin.... plus a sedative... I m feeling slightly better but not enough. maybe 15 percent. What should i expect. I need to get back to myself quick. losing control of finances, responsibilities..... its terrible... Oh.... it s a money grab? Fuck you and your service. I ll consider a lawsuit when I get feeling better.. Thanks for false hope jerks.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, you need combination of antidepressant to come out of depression. Currently, you are taking wellbutrin 150. You can either increase the dose of wellbutrin up to 300 mg or can take another antidepressant like mirtazapine.Better to discuss with your psychiatrist. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
