I just switched from wellbutrin and abilify to cymbalta and abilify. I've been on almost every med there is and am still a mess. I don't want to be here. (No plans to do anything) Just miserable. If I can get disability because I am in process of trying to get on it because I cannot work, I would ask about ect. That is how desperate I am. I can't move... literally. I am in bed all day. The house is a filthy mess, laundry piling up, I don't cook, my bf's disgusted. I need a miracle. I needed to vent and hope that someone understands what I'm going through.

I more than understand I have been on all three medications that you are/were on. I was on wellbutrin for the longest time, and didn't have to much help from it. Cymbalta and Abilify I was on less than a year. Then about a month ago, I was placed on a new medication of Seriqule which I tried once before but the Extended Release was not out at that time, and once we got up to the right dose, things have started to improve. I feel like I want to do things that I have not done in a long time, JUST FOR FUN!!! I've been where you are, and If you need someone to talk to. I would be more than happy to listen, and give advice if needed. Things will get better. They just have too. And If needed my signature has helped a lot of people, Including myslef. I've been where you are, and infact further than you. I've been on a lot of medications, I've even Been Suspended because of the wrong medication. I KNOW how it is. If you need to vent or talk. PM me and I'll try and be on to listen to you. Good luck, and This too shall pass!!

P.S. Exercise does help!! 30 minutes a day of biking, walking, or anything Do it even if you don't feel like it. Just force yourself to do it once, and take one day at a time. It will improve.

Please try to pull through, it takes 2-6 weeks, to get to the blood levels before you can tell if the meds are working. What to do in the meantime? I recommend seeing someone, a therapist, social worker just to get a little releaf. I too suffer from darkness, but i have two faces and thank god I can function with occasional breakdowns and a focus on death. U can pull through, one step at a time. Order in, pay for a maid to visit, try and follow a regimine to take care of yourself... I think it better to try than to go to a hospital. Wellbrim gives me the energy... u may have a little withdrawl also. Be easy and understanding on yourself.

Do you have therapy as well as medication??

Thanks everyone for replying, you don't know how much it helps to get positive feedback from those that have been there. I will try to hang in there. It is going to be hard for me to exercise inside, my place is cluttered. I will have to go out and walk and I try to stay in all the time. I don't like where I live. I'm not happy with my life and feel hopeless. I'm dependent on my bf and I love him but we are having problems I don't know if we resolve them. I am not working, he is. We are hoping the disability comes soon. I see a therapist who I like but all she can do is listen and offer suggestions. I feel hopeless because I can't change my life situation right now and that is what is keeping me down. Also, I'm estranged from my siblings, my parents are deceased. I recently tried to reach out to them and some friends that I had and got no response. My depression has cost me friendships. I hoped meds or even ect would somehow at least change my mood some. I will try to give cymbalta a chance or I will ask about other meds if it doesn't work. My bf suggested volunteering. I just don't want to move to do anything. I don't want to get dressed. Hopefully the meds will kick in soon. I will continue to use this site because it helps. Thank you all for your support.
