14th anniversary of my depression

Posted by Babak on October 23, 2002, at 11:30:12

October is the anniversary of my depression. This year it will be the 14th year.

I have noticed something, which I think, is very strange and I am as certain as I can be that it is not just psychological. I have noticed that I get a short remission every time I come off medication before all horrific symptoms rush back in.

This is particularly true with Venlafaxine. I hate this drug but it is the only one, which helps with my irritability. I must have come off it at least a dozen times, twice in the last seven months. This is when I noticed it; Two or three days after coming off I start feeling "alive" for four or five days and then the symptoms; irritability, insomnia, anger and the rest start all over again. This is when I am either in transit waiting to go on yet another medication or I have to go back on Venlafaxine.

Why is this and shouldn't there, somewhere, in there be a clue to a "solution" to this wretched depression?
