In reply to Constant drug changes? and Depression, posted by flmm on January 7, 2006, at 11:36:11
My ideas as to why some are constantly changing ADs:
1) They have underlying medical conditions which cause or exacerbate depression, and don't respond to ADs.
2) Some here are mildly depressed and have the luxury of shopping for the best AD for them. This group doesn't seem to have severe anhedonia. The severely depressed don't generally show up here, especially if they experience anhedonia. Typing something on a computer is far beyond their capabilities. The severely depressed are so afraid of sudden and unpredictable "relapses", that they are willing to settle for any AD that keeps them out of a living h*ll.
3) A few here are putting us all on -- they don't have depression or any other brain disorder(s).
