Thanks to everyone who left me feedback. It means a lot.
I will definitely take your suggestions to my doc for my next visit. First, I'll tell him what's been going on and let him give me some input. Then, I'll go ahead and ask him about other kinds of meds and whatnot. I am determined to get through this.
You're right, it is fortunate that I have taken action at such a young age, but my thoughts on that are this: If I had not taken any previous action, I probably wouldn't be here today. I know that's really sad, but I have very little doubt that I would've gone to the utmost extreme... I saw my first psychiatrist when I was 14. I don't really remember what it was like except I filled out a questionaire, and then she put me on Prozac and Trazodone. When that wasn't working, my parents took me to a new doc who I'm pretty sure offered nothing useful. Then, the last doc... This was when I was on the brink of suicide. They wanted to lock me up. And that just blows my mind.
And here I am again, back at square one. But I'm trying, I really am. And there's got to be something out there for me. I guess I'm just not responding enough to the serotonin, I will ask about the other types you guys mentioned.
Again, thanks so much, and if you have any other feedback, I'll gladly accept it.
I'll be sure to update when I figure this all out.
