Hi Roo,

Sorry to hear you're still having a hard time with the depression - I agree that 3 months is enough to give it a fair chance.

The Trileptal is still working well for me. From everything I've read and heard from other people - the tricyclics seem to work better for the depressive side. My anxiety is still gone also. It's only been a little over a month for me, so there's a possibility my mood might start to fall, but it is the best I've felt so far still...

I am even going through a very stressful time (my boyfriend who moved to CA who I was supposed to be going to visit over New Year's deciding to start dating again!). AND, I already have the $260 plane ticket. To be fair, we agreed we'd just be friends, seeing as we were not going to do the long distance thing, but I didn't expect him to start dating again two weeks before I was coming out to visit. Anyway, my point is, before meds this would have totally sent me over the edge and I am actually handling it pretty well. Haven't sunk into depression, haven't spiraled into mania, haven't had any anxiety attacks (although have had the crushing chest feeling on occasion - I'll take that though over the other any day).

I hope you find the right med for you and soon : )

Krysti
