Perhaps your medication needs to be increased, but this is always done slowly, in order to observe for any side effects. You should continue to get better. I have some idea what you mean by the low place you speak of. Your trips there should steadily decrease as your medication is adjusted or even changed, if necessary. You are fortunate to be getting a positive result from the first medication you have been tried on. I agree with the above responder that you have life stresses which may be difficult to treat with medication alone. You may find much improvement once you have written your paper and accomplished some of your educational goals, as this should relieve some stress. They say a busy life is a happy life, but there is always too much of a good thing! Blessings on You ~ billieJ
