Chiron, yes, I am still having difficulty finding anything that works but I have resolved to never have ECT, you can babble me for more on that but I am now on Nardil, the newer version, that is not the same as the old version that worked for me in 1989 like a charm, the first drug ever that worked. Then in 1994 Marplan worked like a charm and guess what, Roche discontinued it with no warning or substitution of what should be taken for it. I tried all of the serotonin drugs from 1994 to 2000 with poor results, although Celexa in combination with Adderall and wellbutrin worked so-so for about 4 years, failing about 3 years ago. Since then, nothing has really gotten me out of this depression ,although, I recently started to exercise again and I'm not sure if it's that or the Nardil/Abilify combination, but I am feeling better than I have in a long time, so perhaps something is starting to kick in.
I will try any medication but the combination of what works is the thing that can't be determined or calcluated very well so although I have tried every med and lots of different combos, it the variations of the combos and the dosages that never is easy to get to work together. I'll keep trying though my life has basically caome to a standstill and I really don't know what my future holds. I have no ambition or motivation to get a job and my health insurance will run out in a few months so I am moving into an uncertain territory which has me very concerned and worried since I have at least 10 more years I should be working but the thought of working is terrifying and threatneing, not a safe place for someone with a shakey confidence and uncertain moods day to day.
Any suggestions....Stargazer
