2 years ago in late November I plunged into a severe depression. It followed the worst mania I had ever experienced, a very dysphoric mania that I ended up IP for.
I fell down so hard that I went to my pdoc appointment and told her I wanted to start ECT. I was ready to start that day, that hour.
She said we could definitely check into ECT, but was I willing to try an AD? I said that yes, I would. She prescribed Pristiq. In 2 days the depression began to lessen, in a week I was pretty stable, or at least a mild mixed state.
Lamictal has never helped my depression, nor have AP's. Trilafon (AP) helps the severe anxiety that tends to be a part of depression for me, or maybe part of a mixed state.
So I take 75mg of Pristiq and it's still working out okay.
