Hi everyone.I need some help and advice.About 5 years ago i suffered
from an extremely traumatic experience.This trauma lasted for roughly
9 months.Due to the length and intensity of it I began to feel
depressed.However this depression is not of the normal variety.I mean
I did not feel any melancholia/sadness,but felt the other physical
symptoms associated with depression:lack of energy,lack of
motivation,intense prolonged anxiety over otherwise normally trivial
worries,complete absence of sex drive,total inability to feel
emotions,such as anger and sadness, and a general inablity to feel any
physical/bodily pleasure.I think there is a name for this kind of
depression which manifests itself physically without any sadness.
I have been suffering from this for roughly 5 years,even though the
original trauma is over,my brain refuses to move on.What i want advice
on is the best type/combination of anti-depressants for this type of
depression.There are so many,from Prozac to Wellbutrin to Zoloft that
i'm very confused.I already have access to Bromocriptine tablets,and
would consider taking them in combination with any other tablets.
I know that some might advice me to see a doctor instead of posting on
google,but the reasons for me not seeing a doctor are quite
complicated and for now i am just getting an idea of what tablets
might be suitable for me.
Thanks a lot for reading my email and bye.
