> Whoa -- a lightbulb just went off in my head when I read your message. I've been on SSRIs -- and they work great for about three months, then they stop working and we increase the dose and the blues dissolve again after two weeks. Then three months later the meds poop out again. (Repeat that process till I reach the max dosage of Zoloft, Celexa, whatever, then switch to a new SSRI.)

Mine poop too, except only 2 mos!Once I got 50mg samples, thought they were 100, and got really depressed because I wasn't taking 2. Some say ritalin helps see Jan 20 posting, but that may poop out, too.
