what the heck is this light switch that people talk about?I think I felt it three times. 2 times on St. John's Wort and once on Wellbutrin. Both times in an instance my mood lifted and I had a sense of well being that accompanied a feeling of security
and serenity. I also felt more connected with people. This poops out in hours or days.Besides that everything else has been pretty much a free-for-all agitated "speed" like feelings of euphoria/dysphoria etc/mixed states..whatever, you name it.
The Lamictal and Serzone seem to have the tide roll in slowly so to speak in terms of helping the depression. Plop on some more mood stabilizers and things aint that bad.
So I never have gotton back to this "light switch on" state. I feel better. i.e. not depressed, and occasional I get this euphoric rush. But I wouldn't say I feel "complete" by any means. Am I missing the boat here?
What about these MAOIs? Would they give a different sort of response that I am missing out on? Like maybe I would hook into that light switch thingy?
My depression symptoms are atypical when not severe.
BTW, atypical depression seems like typical depression doesn't it?
