Mary,
I have suffered through a lifetime of depression. If it helps any I know how you feel. I tried to medicate myself with alcohol for over 30 years, the last ten of which I was also on meds. I have been sober now for over four months. I have had no trouble maintaining my soberity after I got started, but the depression is still there and will be there for the rest of my life. I know this becase it is inherited. Several members of my mother's family including her have suffered the hell of it.
I am no doctor, but you probably need to see about a med change. There are many other meds out there. It takes time to find the right combination. I think I may have finally found it, but it still have mild depression like you are describing about 10% of the time. If you get the meds right and don't drink you should see a major improvement.
Best to you,
Clark
