Hi,
I'm hoping for some advice (aren't we all?). I've been on many SSRIs and Effexor, Wellbutrin, Lamictal, etc. Just got off Lexapro - nothing has done anything more than take the edge off. It's been over a year and a half and I can't believe that nothing is working. I see my psychiatrist once a week and feel that therapy has been really productive for some longer term issues. However...the depression isn't getting any better and is actually now getting worse...I'm open to anything at this point. We've talked about the possibility of MAOIs, but I don't know much about them, other than what I've read. I think I would be ok with the strict foods/meds that are prohibited, but I absolutely don't want any more weight gain (after gaining 20 lbs in the last year). Of course I know everyone reacts differently to every med, and yes, I have been discussing all this with my psychiatrist, but I'm curious if anyone here has any experience with MAOIs, or even TCAs, or maybe just what to do when nothing is working, and things are getting worse, and you don't know how much longer you can fight...Thanks for any feedback.
