Hey everybody, been quite some time since I have posted here. Long story short, I have spent years battling symptoms of depression, and have tried more meds than I can remember. I stopped taking any AD about 4 months ago, but I can't deny the struggle is still there. Severe lack of motivation, withdrawal, flatness, and constant thoughts of death still invade my mind far more than is normal. Never been a known precipitating factor, my life and surroundings have always been fairly good. I should be content, and enjoying my life and youth. I refuse to get back on to a medication dependence. My new method is to see if there is a root cause rather than continue to mask the symptoms. Now that I hold a job that gives me insurance, I am going to see an internist to discuss what I can look for to see if there is a root to my feelings of depression. Anybody had any luck in finding the root to their symptoms, or care to offer suggestions of what to bring up to the doc to look for? As with my past posts, all feedback and comments are appreciated!
