Same here as jedi and racer...I've been in and out of depression for 20+ years and if I'm still here there must be something worth fighting for although many times it didn't seem like it. Right now I'm starting (after 5 months) to get a glimmer of effect with the Abilify added just 4 days ago to Emsam, which I have been on for 5 mos, so It's been a struggle.
Are you feeling like you might hurt yourself? That would be a signal to call your pdoc to let him or her know this. There may be something that can be done with your meds to decrease that effect while waiting for something to happen. AD's can worsen depression in some people. I know, I had it happen to me while taking Zoloft, so not every med is helpful for everyone.
Also a worsening of depression is never a good sign so I would say let your doc know anyway. Stay safe OK?
