I keep trying in the hopes that I spark some interest and motivation. So far no luck though. But I think this is the lowest I have ever been so it's tough to beat this.

I can't take a.d. meds but I have tried lithium, modafinil, and now Wellbutrin in combination with Latuda (maxed out on that) but so far very little improvement.

Keep trying I'm sure something will work out.

Hang in there.
Thanks Scooter9, I am sorry you are going thru that too. 2 years is a long time. It's definitely not an easy thing to deal with. Makes you feel worthless and like you should just die. I have also never tried Latuda or modafinil. I will look into those. How come you cant take a.d. ,meds if you don't mind me asking ?

That's all we really can do is to keep trying. It's not like I just expect to wake up one day and be "cured"
