Since I was diagnosed with severe clinical depression in 1991, I have been on Prozac twice, Zoloft, Xanax, Effexor, Wellbutrin, Lamictal, Lexapro, Viibryd and more I can't even remember. Right now I'm on 80mg daily of the Viibryd and 150mg of Lamical. It worked well at first but after only 6 months, its not working.
I know everyone is different with meds but I'm at a loss as to what to try anymore. My doctor will give me any one I choose or will recommend one but so far, I seem to have been almost all of them.
I don't want to take any that make me gain weight because then it makes the depression even worse.
I'm contemplating taking the Effexor again but the side effects/withdrawals are hell. I was on it for about 8 years doing quite well until it just didn't help anymore.
Any suggestions on meds or maybe adding another meds to what I'm already taking?
I'm at one of the lowest points I've been at. I only want to sleep to escape. I have no desire to do anything productive even though when I do, I feel pretty good about it. It takes all I can muster to even take a shower.
Any suggestions?
