Why is it that i get depressed the more i take of my antidepressant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ck with ur doctor: You may need a different antidepressant. Not everyone responds the same to medication. One person may do very well on one while another doesn't respond at all. Antidepressants also work better when combined with psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy.
