Consultation

Detailed Answer:
Hi, and thanks for your question.

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. First, if you are feeling suicidal at all, you should visit an emergency room. If you aren't, perhaps you would benefit from some online therapy. I do offer this, which could help you while you're waiting for your doctors to return.

I guess I am depressed if you are the chosen doctor. I am not depressed enough to take my own life. Sometimes I think I would be better off and so would everyone else. But I know some where some one out there has to help me and I just don't know what to do. I did take an extra antidepressant today. I am taking Venlafaxine HCL 37.5 mg tablet. I just don't know why I get the sweats and the chills too. I take Gabapentine also. Can you still help me through this? I don't have the extra money right now to go directly to your links. Thank you.

Detailed Answer:
Unfortunately private therapy with me has to be done at my private link.

I do not recommend taking extra antidepressant tablets, as it takes many weeks for this to work. You should wait for your prescribing doctor to change the dose.
