Don't hold out much faith for fetzima. Not sure why doc thought this was preferred over wellbutrin, esp. given the bipolar thing. See him next week so he can make sure I am alright relativity speaking. I hate being alive because it is unreliable and elusive, and life is beautiful.

I read through the different responses to your thread and I didn't see anyone mention Latuda so I thought I might mention it. It's shown efficacy in treating depression for bipolar patients. It primarily works on serotonin and dopamine. I don't have bipolar but my quack (lol) wanted me to try it to see if it would augment my Parnate so I did a lot of research on it. It seems like some people are getting good results with it. Don't know if it would be appropriate in your case but thought it was worth mentioning.
Best,
Cat
