How to overcome sadness and depression?
Hi doctor,
I am a 22-year-old, and I just want someone to talk to right now because I feel so depressed, and my depression is killing me from the inside out. I just found out that my long-term relationship is still cheating on me. And I just cannot help but be mad about it, but still, I want to forgive him again. What can I do now? I am always crying now, and the tears will not stop. I lose my mojo to do anything and also my appetite. I feel like I am falling apart. Please help me. What is happening to me?

How to manage withdrawal effects of Zoloft tablet?
Hello doctor,
I have been on Zoloft for 14 years. I am on the maximum dose of 200 mg. I have been struggling with anxiety due to menopause. My general doctor thought it might be a good idea to switch my medication. She recommended that I go down to 100 mg a week on the Zoloft and then go to Pristiq. The problem is that the with drawl is so bad at the 100 mg I cannot handle it. So I started over going down to 175 mg and then to 150, and it was awful. I was in such bad shape I could not do it. Can I go from taking a select to write into the new prescription?

How to cope with relationship conflicts with in-laws?
Hi doctor,
I am depressed and have relationship conflict. I am unable to understand my issues with mother-in-law over things that I could easily ignore and move on. I am over sensitive and tend to get heart breaks every while. I fight with my husband because of weird situations with my mother-in-law and then I regret fighting with him as he is my only support. I feel I am over-dependent on him emotionally. What to do? Please help.
