My depression is in remission.
My alcoholism is countered by sobriety, every day.
My anxiety is at a fraction of what it once was.

My cocktail: Cymbalta, Campral, Lamictal. Recently stopped: Ambien, Xanax, Neurontin (see above).

My therapist and spouse are of enormous help. I am not working but I'm confident that I'll be able to in the future.

I won't list all the medications that I tried and failed to improve on. It's a really long list! though no longer than I think most people have. It takes a lot of persistence as a patient to find the right treatment. The onus is on us (ha ha did not realize the joke) to keep searching for a solution, a compromise between benefits and adverse effects, until we can begin to feel improvement in our lives. For me that meant trying medication after medication, and many incompetent therapists, until I came to find some success. I've been posting here for 3 years (I think, I can't really remember!) and the strides I've made are utterly fantastic.
