Over the last 1.5 years I have been trying to gain ground on my depression and anxiety.
I am on Lithium, Seroquel, and ativan. I have been on Lithium about 3 months. Over the last year I have tried so many anti-depressants. They are only a few I have not tried.
Each one I try makes me very anxious and agitated. I keep on the medication for around six weeks but the anxiety never backs down and then I just can’t take any more and I get off the medication. I’m very frustrated because I am still depressed and I am hoping an anti-depressant will help with depression and anxiety. I have been diagnosed bipolar so maybe the anti-depressants are just causing problems by antagonizing the bipolar aspects. I guess at this point I am hoping the Lithium will do the trick in a couple months or so and help more with depression and anxiety. I sure am exhausted and frustrated with the endless trials of anti-depressants. Any thoughts on what might be going on?John
