Hi,
I've had dysthymia for a long time -- depression which gets worse, then better, then worse.
I was on Zoloft for years, but went off due to edema and swelling in my hands (made work tough).
My Pdoc tried me on everything -- Wellbutrin makes me too giddy and hyper. The usual tryout of Celexa and Effexor -- either feel sedated or just didn't work. Have been on Prozac lately --lifts the depression somewhat but makes me feel somewhat sedated and blah.
So my Pdoc now wants me to try Lamictil. I have not been diagnosed with bipolar, but she feels I may have a very slow bipolar swing type of thing going on with the waves of depression.
I'm sick of feeling so down and semi-suicidal. Any thoughts, anyone?
