I hear you buddy.......I'm living the exact same way you are. My life has been a life of meds since the age of like 15. I'm now 29 and can't even fathom that my life will need to keep trucking along with med combo's the rest of my life. I too am exhausted with jumping from med to med. These doctors, even though may truly care about you, can't at all connect to what the hell were going through. Bouncing from one med to the next and making us play "Russian Roulette" everytime we try a new pill or pill combo. I've fallen so hard the last 2 years that I can't even explain it. I had a good ride of Effexor XR at 150MG daily and Depakote 2 500MG daily for about 5 years but then it suddenly pooped out and I've yet to find anything to bring me back to where I was on that combo. It of coarse had nasty side effects but I was at least a bit poised to live life to it's fullest. Well I just wanted to let you know buddy that you've got somebody right here in the same corner as you. I'm seriously thinking about going for ECT treatments. I mean why the hell not.......I've tried everything else and nothing else is currently working. The bottom line is that I will continue to keep marching along with hope to feel better in my very near future and I hope you do the same buddy. Take care of yourself!!!!!!!
