Yeah, Kat, I do think too many GPs don't always have the time to talk with patients trying to get at the root of their problems & think "ADs work so well" & prescribe them. Much like antibiotics used to be over-prescribed & years ago Vallium & Miltown were overprescibed with all the other bennies & downers. Many people didn't need to be on ADs in the first place. I think those are generally the ones who felt horrible on it & feel better drug-free.
I'm unipolar but feel *good* with meds & horrible without. I've always been like I am for as long as I remember too but notice it morea as I've gotten older. I'd hazard a guess that my particular brain chemistry has always been somewhat 'off'. Who knows the causes? I do know my father heavily DDTed our huge vegetable garden & our small chicken & dairy barn my entire life at home. Is the DDT to blame for my weird chemistry? Undoubtedly, but who knows what else contributed too.
Hope you feel better soon & find the right med for you. Still looking forward to the announcement of your pregnancy. (Personally, I think you've shown remarkable restraint & tact in your posts!)
