Losing effectiveness
Does anyone know how long an antidepressant can help?
I have been on the same one for almost 20 years. I have tried to go off, with out much success, but I find that the drug is helping me only to a certain extent. I feel I could feel better, and less compulsive/obsessive.
It's like it only takes "the edge off" of depression, OCD.
My pdoc states that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" but I don't necessarily agree with him...I feel that I could be better.
Anybody have any thoughts on this? Has anyone changed an anti-d to find one works better than another?
