here are some suggestions that helped me: talk with your pdoc about how you are really feeling.
ask your pdoc if he does group therapy with patients with similiar issues as you.
check the paper for support groups.
try an exercise regimine. it can just be brisk walking each day. this relieves depression and it's free.
try to reach out and make new friends. most people are caring towards whatever their friends are going through even if they can't relate to their issues.
talk with your pdoc to see if another medication can be added to relieve your depression.
keep a daily journal about how you feel each day. have a rating system of 1-5. one being terribly depressed, 5 being you're having a good day. this will help the pdoc to see your mood swings and the timing of them.
i hope you are feeling better soon. we care, so keep posting to us.
