I had to be tried on quite number of antidepressants just to find what worked for me. Then, I don't know if you remember but there was an ad that used to run alot, it showed a depressed person, then a person functioning, and than a person happy. I kept seeing it, it was running in all the magazines.
I thought about it. I went to my Dr and said I wanted to raise my dosage. We did and then we also put me on a 2d antidepressant.
WOW! When it first kicked in, I kept marveling to myself....I had never felt this before in my life and other people "normal" people took it for granted!!
It all leveled off. But I still stay on the higher dose and the 2d one.
I have still had to struggle through all my issues and still do, but I have alot of hope! And I do have a sense of basic happiness. That is so major to me.
I am really glad I went back to the Dr and said, this is helping but I feel like it could be better., I am functioning, but we are not quite there yet.
just my 2 cents.
Wishing you the best!
