YES and NO...Waiting for the right one.

Most of the SSRI's I have taken made me apathetic and emotionally dull, but in some cases that was preferable to feeling too much, as depression can do.

Looking back over the years of treatment with many AD's, all classifications, few with the exception of the MAO's had any clear and sustained effects for me.

Right now, I'm back off of all of the latest combination I was on: Wellbutrin 150, Adderall 20, Celexa 20 and Lamictal 100. In preparation of trying Marplan again, I had to come off everything, except Lamictal. I stopped all of the meds, including Lamictal, since it didn't seem to be doing anything in combination with the others. I did have some withdrawl symptoms, i.e. feeling foggy, unfocused, irritable, so I started taking Lamictal 100 mg alone. It seems to be doing something positive, unclear of the benefit, yet willing to wait before trying Marplan again.

Back in a holding pattern...where so many of us live our lives...waiting for the right one.
