Do you think there is a med out there to help me. I know there's no magic pill, but what do you think could help me get on with my life. Almost 20 years now.
DX- GAD + SP with Recurring MDD for 20+ years, Obstructive Sleep Apnea with RLS. OSA and RLS are under control.
I'm currently experiencing one of my worst MDD's in years and was prescribed Mirtazapine for it which made it so much worse. I've had side effects before but never anything that made my depression much worse on commencing an AD. It sent me to a very, very dark place, quite quickly and I had to stop it after a week.
My main problem is, anything that touches serotonin, in any way shape or form eventually makes me worse. So I'll take any suggestions as long as it has absolutely nothing to do with serotonin. Meds that have helped but have pooped out are reboxetine, modafinil, ropinirole and ritalin, which I'm currently on but it's not working anymore.
Meds that I've tried over the years to no avail, or worked for a brief period of time.

imipramine
anafranil

Thanks everyone
