Oh hansi, I really feel for you. I, too, am going through the worst depression of my life...i don't know, maybe knowing you are not alone in your suffering will help a little.
In my experience, one can have a poop out of any drug. Over the decades I have pretty much been on every drug there is, and they have all pooped out on me. The only drug that helps me at all now is Ritalin. Well, for the depression, I should say. As far as anxiety, the only thing that helps me is Neurontin.
Trying lithium in your case might be a good idea since you are having such mood swings. But maybe your pdoc could put you on a temporary course of a stim like Ritalin or an amphetamine until it kicks in. And a benzo wouldn't hurt either, since you are feeling such anxiety about your situation.
Well, just my 2 cents. I hope you can find something that helps. Hang in there, you are not alone. And, if nothing else, a stim will definitely improve your mood. Keep us posted.
KatIve got a really bad disease
Its got me begging on my hands and knees
So take me to emergency
Cause somethin seems to be missing
Somebody take the pain away
Its like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
