I do have a psychiatrist. We have tried many different medications, I've been on something or another since my late teens. Sometimes a drug works for a few months and then it doesn't, and that is what has happened. I have had years where I wasn't on an antidepressant and I wasn't really any worse than with one. I had increased this one I'm on because of months of worry and depression with my mother being ill and then she passed away.

Getting off of these meds is hell, I know that it isn't that I'm more depressed or the depression worsening, its tapering down. I'm not one that likes meds because I've tried many and I know what they do. I have other health issues and the current antidepressant can worsen those. I just wish it was easier, lack of good sleep now is not helping. I sure appreciate this forum and the people who are here to listen. Thanks.
