What does that even mean? Every time I go to the pdoc, it is for depressive issues. I feel like its my baseline because its such a familiar feeling. And lately I've been in that frame of mind for months. Hence the lamictal, effexor, and wellbutrin to help it. But you have to be careful with ADs to prevent a manic episode so we do minor tweaks as we can. I've tried various SSRIs and SNRIs and mood stabilizers. At this point, I just take it day by day because I can't even say I'm happy or "normal." If I can get through the day without a breakdown, it's a victory.
I think there was a post about this somewhere, but my memory sux and I can't say for sure, or can't find it. So my apologies for any duplication. |

I'm with you. No medication seems to help my depression. The only thing that worked was ECT but is tough on me. It's not like I can do it all the time. It's not a long term solution. It seems there are no long term solutions from me. It cannot be relieved, just managed. And that is depressing in and of itself.
I hope you find something that helps soon!

I too struggle with depression. I'm currently taking 15 mg Lexapro, 400 mg Lamictal and 300 mg Seroquel. Adding in the Seroquel helped a lot. I find that if I don't get at least 8 hours of sleep every night makes me depressed.

I know what you mean *hugs*. I hope you can find something that works.
I lean on the depression end of the spectrum most of the time myself. It sucks. Latuda and Trileptal have helped me a lot, but I'm still dealing with it. All the meds I took prior just stablized me at mild to moderate depression. Like yay, not. Now I'm just trying to learn how to change my lifestyle to see if it will help any. Something tells me doing nothing but working and taking care of a child, and living in a dark, messy apartment isn't helping the situation. |
