Help! I am a 51 year old woman and have been fighting depression for 20 years (that I know of) I was on Wellbutrin for years, but it supposidly took a toll on the adrenals. (PDoc had prescribed various SSRI's prior to the Wellbutrin) but they did not agree with me. Now I am suffering terribly again and am taking small dose of ativan at night for anxiety, but need an antidepressant. OD prescribed Lexapro, Zoloft - both in mini doses because I respond intensely. With each I only took it once and only took 1/2 of the lowest dosage available and was out of my mind for 3 days - awful depression!!!! I have also previously tried Celexa and others - all SSRIs?? What can I do? OD has let it go - doesn't have any suggestions. I have read threads and blogs and websites. Investigated 5HTP - but it seems that is the same type of drug, though herbal, as Lexapros and those. Everyone raves about those drugs - what's wrong with me?
