Dear Lybrateuser, -Do follow a proper routine of diet & exercise to supplement the effects of medication for your problem -do regular exercises like walking, light jogging for 20-30 min, also do yoga, meditation & deep breathing exercise for 10-15 min daily, the more you sweat the better you will feel, do not overstrain, increase time gradually, keep yourself well hydrated before, during & after exercise, have 8-10 glasses of water per day -have proper well balanced diet with more of fruits & vegetables including green leafy vegetables & seasonal vegetables, eat meals on time, do not skip meals, have snacks inbetween meals -divert your mind by reading, listening to music, follow a hobby, meet friends, do social work -your sleepiness could be due to the medication, consult your doctor for that, keep your sleep & wake up time fixed, try to sleep for at least 7-8 hrs at night -be positive & follow a routine & you will feel fine.

As you said you are having severe depression, it takes time for the depression to heal. Medicines are good treatment for depression but they do have side effects depending on various factors. You may be experiencing side effects of medicines for which you should consult your psychiatrist only. Twelve days time is a short period to come to any conclusion that whether treatment is good or not. You have to wait for some more time to see any 'real' effects. Being under depression makes us hopeless and fills us with low confidence. We become pessimistic. I see that this is happening with you regarding your treatment also. You have to keep hopes regarding treatment. Otherwise it will get difficult for you to recover to a normal lifestyle. Stay with the treatment and follow psychiatrist's advice.
