maybe an antidepressant wouldn't be the worst thing ever. wellbutrin provided a lift and cut into the darkness, but not completely. im not big on ssri, ssnri drugs, but..blah.

on the plus side, supplements may not chase the blues away completely, but they do seem to boost the psych drugs, so...if i end up on something, perhaps it'll work well enough, at a low enough dose, for long enough, for me to just...live, and not to be so down. that'd be nice.
It's great to have you posting!

Sorry you are feeling down. I have a similar problem of getting into severe depressions, even though I am on an ssri and Abilify. I hope you find an answer which will be most helpful.
