Susan, my heart goes out to you. I am on Celexa right now and it works okay. I have tried many!
And will continue to do so (in a medically reasonable way) until I find things that really work for me. I hope you never, ever blame yourself in anyway for having depression- it is an illness just like diabetes. All of the psychotopic drugs and our treatment and understanding of mental illnesses are in their infancy- we have a loooooonnnngggg way to go on that. Essentially we are the guinea pigs for future gens with depression and other mental health problems. Our speaking out and letting everyone know is our way of monitoring how meds/therapy work and don't work for each of us as individuals so we are doing a tremendous favor not only to ourselves but for others in the future. If you ever need to talk, I am here.
Susan (Searchlight)
