Im taking 2 kinds of medications at the moment. One is paliperidone and other is sertraline

But im not happy in my current situation. I cant stop overthinking, ocd is a problem for me.

Should i tell doctor to change my medications to different one? but i have used many antidepressants before, nothing really cured me. Im tired of psychiatrists but unfortunately i dont have any other options

Yep. Have a discussion with your doctor.

Yes, I agree. Try and get an appointment with the Psychiatrist.

Other drugs could be better, the same, or worse


When I told the doctor that Zoloft made me lethargic, she put me on Wellbutrin


Monday


Picked it up at the pharmacy


Haven't started yet


Side effects


Wary




Zoloft made me, lethargic. Sometimes can't fall asleep or stay asleep. Weight gain. Itchy



Or maybe Rolando made me itchy

zoloft means sertraline and it made me lethargic too
