Shana many times with chronic depression it takes many tries with many different anti-depressants to find the one that will work for you. I have lost count of how many different anti depressants my pdoc prescribed to help me get out of that HORRIBLE DEEP ABYSS that I was in.

We have finally found one that has been working GREAT for me for well over 2 years now. Yes, my dose does get adjusted periodically, but it's still working and for that I am EXTREMELY GRATEFUL. It's the same on that Vic just started recently. And yes, I will say it here, it has done WONDERS for Vic, even if he doesn't always think so...............................Luv ya Vic!!!!

Shana there have been some great suggestions here so far. Now I know how hard it can be, when at the bottom of the abyss, however, if you can get yourself up and out for a walk each day, especially when you don't want to, it will make a big difference.

I know that in the past at my worst I would make plans to go for a walk in the morning after I got up, and sometimes it would take me all day to get up and get showered, etc and it would be very late afternoon before I went for my walk. But I forced myself, and pretty soon my daily walk was getting longer and longer.

Please stay in CLOSE contact with your pdoc. Keep posting here and let us know how you are doing, we do care very much.

Have a great day for you today!!!!!!

Love and hugs,
