only done a couple sessions with EMDR therapist. At this point its jut identifying triggers and making a treatment strategy. Apparently that was enough to switch me from tired and depressed to overstimulated on the desipramine and adderall im on. Im going to have to cut back on those.
my experience with SSRIs was mixed. They put me into mixed irritable states sometimes with no warning. They caused me to gain a lot of weight and Ive decided its not worth the marginal gain in mood to let my body become ill on these drugs.
I think therapy is the way to go. I got lazy and complacent on antidepressants with regards to work in therapy.I like desipramine at low dose. Its been great at helping the pain and fatigue.
