> I'm a 46 yr. old female amd Ihave suffered from depression for at least 25 yrs. all the drs. gave me up to 4yrs. ago was elavil. 4yrs. ago they removed my thyroid by radiation amd at the same time I mas sole care taker of my Mother who was dying of brain cancer. After she was gone I fell apart.After 3 mo. of agony I didn't care if it was like one flew over the cookoos nest cause I coukdn't puy it on my family because they were dealing with their own, so I admitted myself in the hospital. I was there for 3wks.Things weren't to bad for about a month. then I go depressed again not as severe this time ,but I did have to go to the dr. again. He tried numerous things but now I'm on Effexor 75 mg. 3 times a day, Klonopin 0.05 4 in the am. & 4 in the pm., also 200 mg.of Elavil at bedtime. I obsered your chat and decided you knew alot about depression than I do. I just wondered if there was anyone out there who could help me? I am tired of feeling numb I;m not happy and I'm not sad ,just one day I would like to feel happy to be able to laugh and have some energy. Instead of just going thru the motions. So is there anyone out there?

Hi,

Sorry, I really would like to help you, but I don't know all the meds you are taking. Because in Europe we don't always have the meds you have in the US. Or the name change. I don't know what Elavil is, nor klonopin. Is it benzodiazepine ?
But I advise you to start a new thread, with a good surprising title, I'm sure you get then a lot of answers to your question. If you don't find a good suprising title, just write "please help" and ask. (It's better to talk about substance in the med. than the brand name of a med, so that everyone can understand.)
Good luck.
Sigolene.
