Hi, Sadley.
I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling.
I was recently found to be very vitamin-D deficient. Being low can really affect your physical energy levels...moods too. I also was low in vitamin B-12. I have been taking doc-prescribed supplements for about 6 weeks. For me it has made a huge difference in my energy levels, which in turn helps somewhat to deal with my depressive episodes.
It is hard to be patient when various types of medications are tried, dosages changed, new ones tried. It is somewhat imprecise in process due to the nature of the beast. Please hang in there. It took a number of such switcheroos for something to "take" for me. I think others can share similar experiences. And it does (again frustratingly) take time for effects to be seen/felt. It works differently for each individual.
Do you have any support from friends or family?
Is your individual therapist working with you on specific issues? Goals?
You stated you had gotten a physical done. Do you know if they checked thyroid function? I'm female and that is one thing which was checked in my recent physical to make sure that wasn't contributing to my moods crashing and general lack of energy.
Who's prescribing the meds you're trying? My general practice/family practice doc was the first to prescribe my meds but it took seeing a specialist (psychiatric doc) to get the meds right for me.
I'm thinking of you.
