I agree with linkadge,a long depression episode doesent neccsarly mean the drug did not do its job,like he said for all unknown purposes the med could have prevented numerous breakdowns,unfortantly depression does break through most barries,meaning even the best drug is unlikly to keep one from totaly relapse ever.
To change it that quickly is drastic,id instead see if it continues,unless u respond well in the past to most meds,u wanna stay on a drug if possable.
If not,consider overall if u feel the drug is no longer effective,on a daily basis,i know personaly parnate has stopped major depressive episodes for me,overall however its no longer effective enough,my options are to simply go off it to nothing,as i see at this time no other viable alternatives now that the patch for me isnt living up to its expectations.
I am intolerant to ssris which totaly narrows my window,so take time in making a decision of such.
