I'm 33 yr. old male. I've battled depression my entire adult life. I've tried many anti-depressants, though only Pamelor provides moderate relief. A few months ago my doctor prescribed Ritalin. It was great for the first two months, then my symptoms reappeared. Becoming frustrated I stopped all medication. This was a big mistake. After a week or two I felt really bad. I can only describe as 'chaotic' or 'turmoil' inside my head. I re-started the Pamelor and my doctor prescribed Depakote. It seems as though Depakote was a lifesaver. The symptoms inside my head are gone. Though I still have little or no energy. It is a struggle to do the basic things in my life. I feel my Doctor does not know what else to do for my continued lethargy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
