Since last March I have been very satisfied with Fetzima. I say satisfied because it has worked better that any other and I have been on most of them in the last twenty years. I still got a bunch of 3 day pretty bad mini depressions since I started. In recent months it has been worse and I have upped the dose. My doc says there is a battle going on between my depression and the med. I dunno about that. Hard to say why it works and then the depression over powers it.
Meds are not a cure all. They help you work on things that should help prevent depression, therapy, work, family, friends, support network, etc.
