I had a good six months on it no side effects, except depression. If I would trust that I could take it properly I'd go on it again.

That's it. I've had some depression since starting it. They asked me about adding Prozac (was on it for 2-3 years once) until I came unglued at a convenient store because car wash ripped me off. They called manager because I wanted a refund. He told me to come back in 3 days after doing books to verify. I understood that, but I wanted my money back. Since I didn't wash truck, I wanted to eat lunch. I ocd'ed on keeping my truck clean as it was brand new then.

Anyway, I slammed their phone down on the floor and left. Never went back because I figured they reported me. I never took Prozac again and now I know it has amphetamines in it.

In fact, I asked my therapist once were they trying to get me stable to stand trial. He asked was I in trouble. I said, "Not that I'm aware of, but there's been times probably when I should've been." I think he knew right then just how nuts I have become.

You know, I've had issues for a long time, but the passing of my mother in 2008 put me in shock. It happened in a 24 hour span. I was 38.
Thanks for this!

Can you ask for a different class of antidepressant?

Hopefully, but they are limited as to what they can do since I have no income. I will not spend every cent I tried to save for this day and neglected myself to do it. I'm almost broke anyway and still can't pull together. If I die, my niece could use it I'm sure. Which reminds me, I ain't went and got my blood pressure medicine yet. Wasted that money to the dr. I guess.

The only thing that Depakote did for me is gain 40 pounds

Depakote turned me into a zombie. Depression. But everyone is different so it might work for you?

It did me like that at first. Depression now slightly, other than that I'm about like I was prior to stsrting it.
