How do you work, keep a job, with Depression?

Posted by Giget on May 8, 2003, at 13:32:45

This is my first post here, but I have been an onlooker for a while.
I am EXTREMLY depressed and my phic is working on meds with me. I have been put on Zyprexa, with 80 pounds weight gain, Effexor, with terrible rash, stomach problems, fever, no help for depression and other really bad side effects, and now he put me on Wellbrutin, which needs time to get into my system.
My question is how do you hold down a job when you can bearly wash your hair? My work is seeing problems and they offered me some time off, not firing just some time off. I want to take it but I called the phic, who is only in on Mondays by the way, and the nurse sounded like she did not think he would document my problem for work.
I have been living hour by hour, but I am sinking at work. All I do is put all my energy into going to work and going home to bed.
How do you keep a job?
