I know how you feel having been on the med not so merry-go-round for 20 years. I bombed out on every AD known to man but have been getting some relief from Pristiq. Effexor was terrible, Pristiq seems to be helping so far.
I am also on Remeron for sleep. Did nothing for my depression but is a great sleep aid. My pdoc wants me off it since she thinks it is causing anxiety. I want off the seroquel since I think it is the culprit. We'll see. I haven't gained weight on the seroquel yet but I stuff myself full of vegetables to avoid stuffing myself full of real food.
Don't give up hope. There's a new combination of something that will help. Get a psychopharm consult, new eyes... Do you have a therapist, someone you can really talk to? I really understand feeling like a depressed life is not worth living. Keep fighting, when you can, to get help.
And let us know how it goes.Zana
