I had severe depression and now i'm taking medication and feel better but i feel sedated and i'd rather feel sad than feel just safe what can i do?

Treat yourself: Any medication can have benefit and side effect. The balance must be clean and definite in the benefit side significantly outweighing side effect, or the medication should not be used. Get a grip on yourself and deal with life as an challenge to conquer. Life sucks - and then we die. In the meantime, do the best with what you have been given!

Symptom management: Talk to your prescribing physician about how you feel. Antidepressants can help manage symptoms, but they cannot fix ongoing situations or conflicts beneath. It could be that your medication needs adjusting, but you also need to be working with a therapist to address your feelings. Life does bring pain sometimes, but we can also find fulfilling ways to share our gifts and love with others.
