Never tried Celexa?
Like you, I had one success, a single antidepressant that turned my life around, and that was Celexa.
And again, like you, I discontinued it for a short period of time, and when I returned to it, it never worked the same. But it gave me the best year of my entire life. It was my first taste of life, of living like a normal, happy person without this horrific illness. It felt like a miracle.
I tried Lexapro and didn't do anything for me, so at least in my experience, Celexa was superior. In fact, Lexapro made me more depressed. If Lexapro sort of worked for you, maybe you could give Celexa a shot? I'd just try a high dose--for me it worked when I went on 40mgs and above.
I tried Nardil and had very high hopes for it. After hearing so many great stories, I was very hopeful. Unfortunately, it didn't do a thing for me, except it made me gain like 20 lbs. But other people swear by it, so it might be worth a shot.
Best luck
