Hi everyone!

It's been quite some time since I've been here, since there were too many messages for me to keep up with.


Well I've hit a roadblock in recovery and need those who understand. I've tried so many antidepressants and they either make me manic (SSRIs) or do nothing. Am I destined to have a baseline of depression?


I've taken paxil, celexa, wellbutrin, amitriptyline and clomipramine. I think that's it although I thought there were more.


Anyone BTDT?


p.s. sorry about the hat

(((((((((((((((((((((Amanda)))))))))))))))))))))))) No need to worry about the hat. Sorry to hear you've not been well. I just got out of the hospital myself for that. What I finally ended up with was cymbalta, lamictal (again), depakote, topamax, zyprexa, klonopin and ativan (as needed). So I can say I've btdt. Hopefully you will find the combination that works. You and I both have been in the downward spiral for a long time now and we both deserve a break. But we're definitely not alone. A lot of us here aren't doing well right now. I finally have a break and sadly I think it was simply 3 days of being out the house away from the external stressors moreso the meds. We'll just have to hang in there together. Keep posting and keep us updated. My thoughts are with you and I'm sending you (((((((((((Hugs))))))))) across the miles.


Hugs & Love,
