This is an interesting topic. The only AD I've ever felt true relief from is Zoloft. It was a very fast reaction to the AD, and then a pretty quick poop-out (about 4 months later). I've always wondered how that worked.
It would make sense that what I felt early on had something to do with the "domino effect" of neurochem. changes taking place. And, that when it came to the effect of the AD itself, not much help was really there.
It makes me wonder though if I gave it up to quickly. The example of the fellow with TD really caught my eye.
I am "dysthymic" (chronic depression with severe episodes whenever my body feels like it) so I wonder if there is some fundamental neurochem. thing going on all my life. Oh, to find the right dip switch in that computer in my head.
FWIW, I've also been doing therapy for many years. More therapy years than AD years. And, even though I don't expect a "cure" I still am able to learn and grow and develop new coping mechanisms, because, in fact, I am dealing with depression regardless of the cause.
This is a great series of posts. Thanks ya'll.
