When you wrote drugs don't work anymore....I pray every day that mine keep working because bad stuff happens and I couldn't cope without them. I got my Masters through all of this so you can do this too! Ok, people may say I'm weak, I may gain weight on them, I may not remember much on them, I am tired on them, but they help erase the sadness and despair you and I and so many others go through. It's still there but locked away in a little closet in the back of my mind and I don't have to open it on meds. Reading your post was the first time in a long time that I actually walked over to that little closet. You got to force your self to not let your demons win. I switched meds and upped them and some people (well proably everyone) would say I take too many) but it gets me through the day. Topamax works wonders for me. I take 400 mg. Who cares what I take it for. It keeps me from wanting to lock my self in a bare room away from others for 2 weeks (not that I have but it sounds tempting). The Effexor (125 mg) keeps me from crying. The Provigil keeps me awake and if I would take the Adderal it would help me concentrate. Life on meds is still life. We enjoy your company.
