Hi Laura -- Like Bill, SSRI helped me -- I remember being happy when I was younger, but a bad car wreck, back injury, head injury, many drugs and PT later, everything was grey grey grey blah, for many years, couldn't sleep, didn't feel like doing anything but had to, you know how it is, I'm sure. SSRI Lexapro was truly like a magic bullet for me, put the color back in my life. I actually did remember being happy and I feel it again, now, even if not every minute of every day.
My point is keep trying, if I've learned anything reading this board, it's that our brains and situations are all different and everyone responds a little differently. Don't give up, and I hope you find what you need to feel better soon.

Prozac and Celexa worked very well. Lexapro works the best for me with the least side effects. I do not feel depressed while taking ssri's.
