Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, she is under the care of a psychiatrist but undergoes no psychotherapy. I am hoping to get her over this hill while I stay with her over the Thanksgiving holiday.
I just worry about her constantly changing medication regimen. Nothing seems to work. She has tried Geodyne, Wellbutrin, Remeron, and now Lexapro. I know there are a lot of various medications out there I hope one helps her with minimal side effects.
Her depression seems cyclical and when she gets better she changes her dosages so she doesn’t feel so “medicated”. I understand her rationale but I also get very frustrated because I know what the later result will be. I love her and I just want her to feel like herself.
