I'm sorry you are suffering so much. Hang in there. Hopefully the Seroquel will help.

You really need too try anything , not saying anything? But there are new studies and have found that Suboxone can help with treatment resistance depression, it is mainly for opiate addiction, I am on it I was addicted too Hydrocodone 12 years I was on 12 mg which is pretty high I'm weaning off now on 6mg . Psychiatrist can prescribe Suboxone if they are approved and take required 1 day course,so get out research don't give up I been there , I'm telling you write me back i will tell you more info, but even if can't do that get on university hospital sites , they pay people too be in research programs check Emory Hospital.com it's in Georgia where I'm from , text me I will give all info 706-728-0451

I have been trying different antidepressants since 1988. Truthfully they seem to work for awhile but then they stop. I don't know what to do at this point. It's an awful feeling. I joined this site today to find other people that might feel the same way as me.

I was just relating that I've had major depressive illness along with my bipolar I have had it for 37 years now. Sometimes good, most times not so much. Right now I have been isolating for over 2 years. I rarely go out, even just outside. I sit in my recliner hunched up just either not thinking at all or ruminating. There is no easy way out. I have several pills, Seroquel, lamotrigine, clonazepam, also low thyroid, diabetes, going blind, several eye operations. I isolate to stop thinking. I even put on tv just so the noise drowns out some of my thoughts.
My family doctor asked me why am I so depressed I have a great husband, and so much going for me. I couldn't answer him. I don't know why.
In 1993 or so I was so bad....my psychiatrist gave me several shock treatments. It began to get me out of the major depression and it worked for awhile, but then I started getting short term memory loss on top of all my other illnessess. I am trying to put myself out, but can't seem to keep to a schedule or a walk. Last walk I took I got lost. My memory. I was going to walk for 15 min and wound up looking around for more than an hour trying to find my way home. It's not a good feeling. I feel lost literally and emotionally. Anyone find a way to take a few steps and be able to focus long enough to make it a habit of putting yourself out? Thank you for listening.
