I think the combo I am on makes for fewer, less disabling and shorter episodes of Major Depressive Disorder when there is a breakthrough.

Hi, yes, we've tried combinations. Right now though, since I lost my full-time job in July and my insurance, I have run out of meds and am no longer on anything. And to tell you the truth, I don't notice much difference. I'm trying to manage my depression through diet, exercise, music, and different means of mood elevation. When I do get back to seeing my pdoc, I am only going to ask for help with my sleep disorder, which is part of the MDD.
