Spike what other ADs have you used in the past besides Nardil? I found another post of someone asking, but there never was an answer to that question.
I never get sad with depression. I can feel sad when I'm properly treated & something that truly is sad comes up but I get bleak, irritable, & angry at first. That's how I know my depression is getting worse. It'll progress from there if not treated to complete apathy - I do nothing, feel nothing, & want nothing more than to be non-existent. No appetite, no desires, nothing - absolutely nothing but guilt that I can't help my family, let alone myself. But at that point, I'm really, really low.
I try to keep an eye on myself because while I have a strong network of friends/family that cares, I reject everybody when I get that low. So as soon as the bleaknees & irritability start, I do something about it.
