Hi,
I'm 30 years old.
I have lot of other health issues. I wonder if they could somehow be connected. But doctors usually don't know anything about this or don't care.
I have:
multiple Lipomas
frequent pains in multiple joints (rheumatologist found nothing)
visual disorders (visual snow, floaters, seeing white blood cells in the vision field which is totally annoying)
seborrheic eczema
hypothyroidism (i take T3 + T4)
hypogonadism (TRT with T injections)


I have been on Lexapro 20mg for at least 3 months. I really couldn't tell a difference. If it's that weak that I cannot clearly tell a difference then it's useless.

I'm scared of Abilify.
Because it's an antipsychotic and no antidepressant and also because it can cause TD.
I also don't really know how Abilify is supposed to help me. Why should I have too much dopamine?
When I have adhd then I should rather have too little dopamine.

Are there other reasonable add on options?
I cannot take anything which has too scary side effects.
But does it even make sense to think about add ons when I haven't even found an antidepressant which works?

Lithium is also scary it can have many side effects.
