He Denise,
Have you tried a mood stabilizer with your SSRI? I've had a classic poop out non-response from all SSRI's, with similar symptoms to yours, namely going on them again made me feel agitated and aimless, like you described so well. I've since learned that it wasn't so much the second or third time around that was my problem, but taking SSRI's alone was the problem. Since adding lithium (well, I am Bipolar II also) my AD's suddenly sprang to life and started working. It also could mean that serotonin isn't your problem and adding an SSRI is creating too much serotonin in your system. Good luck. This med tightrope is a bummer. - BarbaraCat
