I think I went on Luvox in January 1997, and was on for four years. I don't think I started Risperdal until Fall 2005. Since then, I've learned to use an as needed basis that works for me.
But I'm not sure any medication ever made me feel good. That was a slower process that arose from not feeling awful then working my way up. It took me a good long while to feel safe in not feeling bad. To realize that if I started to feel bad, I had the tools to keep me from sliding too far. It took me a long while to recognize that while I feel like I've always felt the way I feel now, and I always will feel that way, it isn't really true. Things come and go and come and go.
Of course, when I'm feeling really bad, I tend to forget that.
