Kramer,
I'd really appreciate your thoughts on why meds stop working second time round. The reason I ask is that I took tryciclics and SSRIs for 10 years (4 years ago) and they worked so well and so quickly. I came off Seroxat about 4 years ago simply because I had heard all the scaremongering about developing a tolerance to them. Anyway I was ok for 4 years, fairly depression free and then in June of last year started to go down, tried to go back on SSRIs and tryciclics (so far Prothiaden Remeron, Paxil, Zooloft, Prozac, Celexa) and none of them have worked infact I feel as though I am getting all of the negative effects with none of the positive effects. I got side effects before (sickness etc) but the depression lifted so it didnt't matter. I just can't understand why they have stopped working it is so frustrating and nobody really seems to know why. The only drug that seems to help this time round is Zyprexa and to be honest I'm worried that this will edventually stop working too and I'll be left with nothing.
CAn you advise?
Thanks.....Denise
