Thanks for your reply. I have been on antidepressants longer than the opiates and have paid for it. New research and studies are showing that long term antidepressant use can cause chronic relapsing depressive episodes, cognitive damage and tardive dysphoria. When I take them I lose as much or more as I gain and I have tried nearly every single one. So I am trying something different.
I am beginning work on my adrenal glands which are in a state of exhaustion and depletion and I am trying to prevent failure. So I am looking in that and other unusual (for me) directions to try to understand this depression.
