Hi Jay,
Over the last 7 years I've been through the many types of antidepressants.
In 2001 to 2003 - I tried Effexor, Remeron, Seroxat, Prozac, Prothiaden, Lamictal, Lithium, Zooloft, Celexa, tegretol, Nardil and Zyprexa now and again.
2003 I responded to Seroxat at 40mg but response only lasted for two years before it seemed to lose affect in 2005. I also tried rTMS. Since then I've tried adding Buspar, T3 hormone, lamictal and Mirtazapine to the Seroxat with no joy.
Just over a year ago I was put on lexapro which did seem to help a little but even that stopped working last November and since then I've been having a lot of terrible anxiety and suicidal thoughts. The zyprexa does help with the anxiety but I'm still feeling depressed. i.e. lack of joy or looking forward to anything.
As far as I am aware there aren't any circumstantial reasons for my being depressed (I tried therapy), I have no major stresses in my life.
Thanks for getting back to me.
Denise
