Hello,

Sorry to hear of your difficulty in finding something that works for you.

I tried Prozac years ago. It didn't help me. This was around 1999 I think. I remember trying others, Effexor... but then changed jobs and insurance and struggled on until about 2004.

In 2004 I started taking Lexapro with some success but took myself off of it in the summer of 2008 because of the sexual side effects. Shouldn't have done that without talking to my doctor and sponsor first but I did. Had a reaction to is when I started taking it again because the depression came back after a month or two. My p doc put me on Zoloft which helped but again with the sexual side effects. I'm now on Welbutrin which seemed like it worked at first but with the way the economy is, my fear of losing my job and my house, my anger with myself for not managing my finances better, etc, etc, I'm not sure if anything would work for me at this particular time. So I've been soldiering through it lately. I act "as if" I was ok but I'm not. I've been praying a lot. I've been in touch with my sponsor on almost a daily basis. I guess when it comes right down to it, I'm struggling with being powerless to change anything. I can't go back in time and make better decisions. I made the best decisions I could with the information I had at the time.

I wish you well and hope you find something that gives you some relief.
