> Hello,
I know exactly what you mean about the Antidepressants not working after starting them again, I've had exactly the same problem. I was on Seroxat about 5 years ago and felt great, had more energy, motivation etc. I too came off them thinking that if I ever got depressed again it would be simple just go back on the Seroxat and everything will be hunky dory. Only it hastn't worked out like that at all, the effects have been devastating. They haven't worked at all, if anything they have made me feel worse, I might as well be swalling smarties. Sometimes I really feel at the end of my tether but I keep telling myself that if they can transplant Pigs organs into human beings then surely they can find a drug that works for me. The only thing that has helped me is the Zyprexa but sometimes this makes me feel like I haven't any emotions at all.
I really believe that they should put a warning on the medication literature advising you that if you discontinue the drug it is not liable to work the next time around. I wish somebody could tell me why they don't work second/third time around, I then might be able to work out what would work.
Let me know how you get on, I'd be really interested to know if you find anything that helps as it might give me some hope.
Denise
