Hello shamon86: The Skeezyks is not on psych med's anymore. But what I found, when I was, was that my moods would go from what I used to call resigned acceptance to: "I just can't stand this for another minute!"

What the antidepressant I was on did for me was to simply keep a floor under me so that, when I went down, I didn't sink so low I was in danger of making another attempt at do-it-yourself termination. So what you wrote in your post certainly sounds familiar to me.

It's certainly true though as well that the effectiveness of psych med's can change over time. (I'll bet you knew that, didn't you.) I don't know how long you've been on Wellbutrin & Effexor. But, if you've been on them for the whole 2 years since you received your diagnosis, perhaps a med review is called for? Just a thought...
