I haven't found a med that "cures" my depression. I HAVE found meds that help me deal with how I am, when I'm sinking fast. As it turned out, so far, the best med for me wasn't an anti-depressant, it was an anti-anxiety med. And surprisingly to me, Magnesium has proven to be very effective in stabilizing my moods. I still have crazy swings, but not as bad, not as intense, not as long, when on Magnesium. Having fought depression for 35+ years....I've reached the conclusion that there is no cure for depression...but there are many many MANY different tools to help fight it, tools that will allow me to have some good days. So now, I ignore studies, and I ignore docs who tell me things I know aren't helpful, and seek out the ones that are.
