Im starting to become convinced that for most people just an SSRI wont be enough. got my doc to get me on wellbutrin too--it hits the dopamine and norepinephrine, the 2 other major neurotransmitters.
Maybe you could go off the meds and see how you do. If/when depression returns you could try a new med other than an SSRI. It might be a bit liberating to be off meds for a while anyway in your case.
Just an idea. For me, the speech and identity problems persisted long before I got on meds, and I must say I am not in as dark a place (for the most part--I do have my days) as I used to be. I fear Im starting to do badly again though.
Really Im sick of constantly thinking about how I feel, or what I need to take to make me feel better, rather than just feeling and living life.
Im sure you feel the same way.> Oh ya and I can't think straight and have to lost a feeling of SELF..I do not feel the same at all...and that is really all I want...is to have my identity back...who I was...not what I am now...someone I am basically ashamed of..and who I hate..I want the person that existed before meds...
