Guest guest Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 My SSI disability lawyer told me that it is common for people with chronic pain to also suffer from depression. At the time I learned this I don't think I was Depressed. I know now that I am definetly depressed,and recently started sertaline and wellbutrin for it. How long does it take the meds to kick in? I was on them a month,then my doctor upped the sertaline and added ativan. I still feel very down,lazy,don't want to do anything,have a short fuse,etc. I do know why i am depressed-can't work,play with kids like i want to,help out with housework,all from having a bad back. Thank God for my understanding family. I would hate to have to go this alone,as I know some people are doing. Remember, there is always someone worse off than you! My doctor told me that to make me feel better I think. anyway,sorry for rambling and will try to help others in this group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
