You are right I have changed many times. But I do not think too many times. I am very treatment resistant and meds have never worked so great for me. I will admit that a part of me hopes for a magic bullet. But I know there is no such thing. I have always stayed on a med for at least six months and usually one or two years. The only one I ever stopped right away was wellbutrin. The last three years I was on abilify and effexor or abilify and pristiq. Same thing. I am exaggerating when I say I have been on every one and combination there are so many of them. It has been alot though.

I would just like a med that works as good as they do for a lot of other people, so I can at least get out of bed, out of the house. Maybe I have found the right one or combo. I don't have any doubt I will relapse. I would bet money on it. And it will happen in Nov. If get really lucky and these meds prevent that relapse that would be awesome.

Where do you come up with this if I have a 70% remission rate I might as well give up on meds and just stay on what I am taking??? You are sounding like Michanne and I don't think she will like you sounding like her.

I know there is no magic bullet but I won't give up on meds or changing if I need to. We do combinations here that is just how we do. I ain't skeeered.

I will say it again I had 100% remission rate long long before Prozac was ever invented or ever touched an AD. It is true that in the last five years it has gotten much worse. I have done a pretty thorough inventory in the last month about it and it has mostly been due to situational. Working, getting laid off, working getting laid off, financial situation getting worse and worse. Ever since 2006 is when it started. I was laid off for two years one time. I got unemployment the whole time but that is only half of my normal pay.
