Back on the med merry-go round. This time he is taking me off the Viibryd and Buspar. Upping the Wellbutrin and Doxepin and adding Cymbalta. I am so fed up and just want to be left alone and sleep. This current depressive episode has been going on since August when I got off of Seroquel.

Crook, my depressive episode has been going on since August too. I'm off wellbutrin now, still on viibryd and my pdoc is considering Cymbalta.

UselessMe, I hate that it's a guessing game. Just a crap shoot. I would hate to be a psychiatrist . . .

It took them a year and a half but they finally found a combo that is working for me right now. Hope they find yours faster. But there is always hope.

Gayle I don't think I could last a year and a half. Right now I just really hate myself and can't even look in a mirror.

I've been there. You can only take it one day at a time. I have been down the dark path. I have ordered my tombstone and pre-planned my funeral during those dark days. But I kept putting one foot in front of the other and now I'm better, of course, I keep waiting to crash. I'm scared it want last. I try not to think about it but it does creep in.

Depression is hard-very hard. I saw a commercial for a certain antidepressant where the first statement was "Depression hurts." So true. Lots of hugs to all of you.
