I have been battling major depressive disorder and panic attacks for about 12 years. The doctor will start me on one medication leave me on it for six months then switch to something else. I don't know if this means I'm resistant to the meds or what.

Most days I have to force myself out of bed to shower and get my kids off to school then I just come home and basically sleep for hours. I barely eat anymore. I don't sleep at night I lay awake and the thoughts just flood in. I rarely go see my friends or family anymore.

I'm currently on Vybriid 40mg in the morning and then Ativan 1mg twice a day as needed. I don't feel like my doctor listens to me and all I hear from my husband is that I just need to snap out of it. I wish it were that simple...
