Question

2 yrs ago myZoloft 200 mg/day quit after 20+ yrs. My psychiatrist switched me to welbutrin 150 mg xl once a day and 50mgZoloft for anxiety. I recovered from covid a mo ago and both depression and anxiety are back. Cant eat or sleep and desperate??

Answer 1

Probably: Lots of us carry our anxiety in our tense muscles, poor sleep, irritable bowels etc... fever, severe headache, and a dry cough are the main covid19 symptoms. Isolation can cause depression. If you feel like you need help, please seek help. Online medicine works well for anxiety and depression.

Answer 2

Either way get help: It is likely a response to all the recent changes. Either way help is needed. Develop and follow a routine, work on sleep , -again routine 4-5oomg magnesium gluconate can help. PCP would be a good place to get a referral for counseling, Hydrate, eat right, and have some down time . If symptoms do not abate -then evaulation indicated, start with PCP.

Answer 3

Not healthy: It is normal to feel anxiety due to this time and all the conditions that accompain it, but you must do variety of activities to proper focus all that in something more productive try taking a online course on something you have interest on, also improve your dietaey habits, fast food can be a very dangerous foe in this kind of crisis

Answer 4

Time of a pandemic: Many people are feeling lonely, bored, anxious and unhappy right now. I can't tell you if you have a clinical depression or not from this info. But, be active. Stay in touch with others (text, email, phone call, skype, mail, etc.). Eat healthyfully. Exercise even if in doors at your home. Use your time productively and creatively.
