Patient discussion about diagnosing.

Q. I was diagnosed with depression and have taken a whole host of antidepressants. I’m Mark, 29 years old male. I was diagnosed with depression and have taken a whole host of antidepressants. My eyes are extremely blurry, I’m worrying about that. Does this side effect go away with time, or is it permanent while on medications?

A. If you've got blurrly vision becuase of a medication, you need to go see that doctor who prescribed it, and see if there is another medication that won't have side effects for you. I know everyone is different.

Welbutrin made me itch all over and the doctor changed me to something else.

The trouble with depression medication, is that its not so wise to decide by yourself to stop taking it. That's well documented.

With blurry vision, that could be unsafe for driving and can affect your work and daily activity. There are alternative medications. The side effects for one patient may not be there for others.

You can look up side effects of your particular medication on the internet right now. You might be able to find out more helpful info.
Maybe your dosage is not right?? That's doctor stuff... Go see your doctor ASAP.

Q. Is the diagnosis correct? I have been diagnosed bipolar and was previously diagnosed with depression and ADHD how I know the diagnosis is correct this time?

A. Check out the DSM-IV which is the manual used by mental health professionals to determine these things. Also, there is no other reason why all the diagnosis couldn't be correct. If you are a bi-polar, then you are depressed by definition. ‘ADHD’ is a separate category. I hope you get some help, whatever the correct diagnosis is.
