Linkadge,
here I am typing this in extreme depression after the Nth time of being on a med for greater than a month, with that med recently pooping-out. It happens to me without fail. MAOI's, SSRI's, novels, AP's - you name it. If my PDoc is not sympathetic i.e. doesn't believe me, I have to move on. 4 doctors have now given up on me to my face (or in writing).
I think my brain - and perhaps your brain - has some kind of auto-adaptation / auto-downregulation structure/area/process that most other brains do not. It's simply uncatered for in medical literature presently. And it's utterly devastating to have live with. Which I'm not sure how much longer that will be the case, given that I've somehow put up with this suffering for 24 years.
Pete
I love the smell of Abilify in the morning. The smell, you know that chemical smell. Smells like victory. Some day this war's gonna end...
