I´ve run the gamut with meds. Remeron helped me 15 years ago when I was a lot slimmer. Even then, it traumatized me by gaining 30 lbs in a couple of months (@ 15mg)however, it pulled me out of a depressive episode. Prozac also helped me back in my thirties and am in the process of trying it again though I have no high expectations of it helping now since not even the high hitters have done much. I'm at the point of considering ECT. I've already tried rtms with no benefit other than a $12,000 bill. My quality of life is dismal. I had to quit my teaching job due to the severe fatigue I attribute to depression and since all my medical lab work up comes up normal. If ECT doesn't help me then IDK what else to do. I survive on amphetamines which give me a semblance of normalcy, I was recently prescribed Dexedrine spansules to see if they work better than Adderal, Vyvanse and Nuvigil (will be getting them next week). I'm so beat. I used to be so full of life, creative, sociable and industrious and now I feel like such a failure and on top of that, I have an additional 13 lbs to lose on top of the 50lbs (thanks to the Remeron trial)I've gained due to these meds (despite taking amphetamines). Sorry, I sound so negative but this disease has really taken its toll on me.
Hope you are doing well.
