Combining the names of my anti-depressants makes a great name for an '80's hair band.

I imagine them looking like this:

why are you depressed, deeply shallow?

I'd hate to waste your time, Mike. Suffice it to say I am a troubled individual in need of modern medication.

i ask you to please, waste my time!

sorry to hear you're troubled.

hoping your meds do the trick like nobody's business.

For the first time, I finally feel that this combination of meds is what I need. Thanks for caring, I always enjoy reading your posts.

weirdly enough, my spouse and father have just recently hit upon the right combinations as well.

i've heard it feels like a miracle has happened.

That it does. I was growing tired of the experimentation. I finally feel that what I'd hoped the meds would do for me is happening. Sadly, I feel like I've let down Tom Cruise. This is the last thing he needed in the midst of his divorce from Katie.

you aren't able to let tom cruise down.

l. ron hubbard says so.

I can't believe he signed that one billion year contract.

Just saving this hilarity for ALL TIME

Depression = the suck.

I found that I only need 1, but that I need a specific manufacture and others don't work at all. It took a LONG time to figure that out.

Experimentation with emotion altering drugs = the suck.

tMG: Ask me about my painful divorce.

Its always so so encouraging for me (who has yet to pursue medication) to hear GOOD things about them because i seem to only hear (or listen to?) the terrible, horrible things people tell me.
I think my biggest mental block is the complete lack of understanding what its like to NOT feel like this. It makes it hard to want to change. Its much EASIER to just keep maintaining this, even if its awful. Because at least i know how to deal with it and what to expect.
Trying to comprehend not being depressed is like trying to comprehend teaching myself Korean. I dont even know what i'm working toward, so how do i get there?
And then i get anxious and cry and then basically just repeat that all day every day.
SO this was not a constructive post at all but i'm glad that the combo is working for you, DS. And i'm glad you shared that

Mike and I say a lot of stupid things and derail a lot of threads, but this one is proof we can be serious.

Listening to tMG helped me deal with crazy emotions and depression more than once. I think this kind of thread is good, lets others know there are people in your same place, or that can understand where you are at.

Like Mike said, life is too short not to be happy more than not. Counselling always helps, drugs sometimes help. Friends are the best.

tMG: Ask me about my painful divorce.

Funny (true) story.

My previous anti-depressant wasn't working. I asked my Dr. if I could try Celexa because JV names drops it in Dead Slate Pacific, it worked for me!

So, I can't picture my drug as a hair metal band, because I already have a music connection......

I've always felt that it's unbelievably hard to express how feeling that that feels, exactly, but I think JV nails it in Dead Slate Pacific.

I remember one day being just the hungoverest little thing and I believe i may have been sick at the time (this is such an irrelevant story, and i KNOW IT but i'm still going) and i ordered a pizza. And when i went downstairs to retrieve it from the delivery boy, the sun outside was so bright i thought i was going to vomit on him and I dont, seriously, know how it happened but we started talking about JV and it was super great and i like when strangers bring me pizza and conversations about my interests.

Ah, the medication...

I just quitted mine in a rush of forgetfulness and "hey, let's try it at least". I have to take quite a lot of medication being a depressed allergic and and asthmatic, and after a few years of taking four to five pharmaceuticals a day I started getting annoyed by the adverse reactions: Gaining quite a lot of weight without eating that much, and a dead libido, which startet pissing off my girlfriend.

So I just didn't take my pills anymore. Which was a pretty bad trip with weeks of sleeplessness, deep sadness, restless legs, itching skin, moth-plague-in-the-bedroom-induced paranoia, vertigo and so on. I was on a very low dose anyway, but I hadn't thought it would hit that hard.

I'm over the worst symptoms now, just a little more frail than before, but I really hope I can make it without this stuff. It was fun while it lasted, and it really helped me, made my life brighter and clearer, but after years I thought it was time for a change. Layladarling, I can assure you that I loved my pills, and they did me no harm except for those long term symptoms.

Thank you all for giving me the opportunity to read your stories and to tell you mine. Feels good to be here!

Cheers, Doc

you're all so lovely
