What meds are you taking?Don't miss doses!!! I know it is easy when we start feeling a little better to stop taking them or miss doses. Missing doses can really screw you up.
I agree with others meds are only part of the solution. It sounds like they have definitely helped you. Maybe the meds can get you into a better place where you can start doing other things that will help.
I just switched from Effexor to Fetzima two weeks ago. I am slowly starting to feel better. In fact I am supposed to travel to my brothers today for a family get together. In the past 5 months I have not gone to anything like that. I have barely left the house. I don't really want to go but I think I feel good enough that I can force myself to go and hopefully being around family will help me feel even better. Sometimes when I was on the upswing and I forced myself to get out around people it snapped me the rest of the way out.
