I haven't tried ECT. There are meds only available in the U.S. that I haven't tried such Cymbalta and Abilify.
Wellbutrin makes me psychotic. Lamictal made me more depressed.
These past 2 months I have felt the worst I have ever felt in my life. Sometimes emotional factors come in to play and make it worse ... I can tell when this is the case. Right now there are a lot of emotional factors going on. Life getting in the way of living. But I can't make them disappear. There are also physical factors as well. Again, nothing I can do about them ... or so the experts say. All of these things combined have resulted in a bleeding ulcer in my stomach ... I am now on meds for that.
Am I making any sense? I can't even tell ... I'm sorry.

There are no guarantees - except, perhaps, for the finality of making certain decisions. Try to continue allowing yourself options. You might have to accept that things will be difficult for some time to come. It is difficult to predict. Nevertheless, you can probably find tangible reasons to retain hope if you look hard enough for them. This is so very easy for me to say to you today. Tomorrow, I may need for you to read this post back to me. Currently, I have some hope invested in the fact that I have not yet tried Topamax at dosages above 75mg in combination with Lamictal and nortriptyline. Tangible.
