I feel lucky in that a last ditch effort to battle chronic-depression seems to have worked for me.After trying many different drugs, and some augmentation to various drugs, I was very surprised and actually amazed that a simple thing really seemed to make a difference for me....
Switching from generic fluoxetine to name brand Prozac. Only thing I am taking at 80 mg/day.
My "trials" included generic fluox., the former augmented with Abilify, then Wellbutrin, Cymbalta, Cymbalta/Abilify combo. I was very excited about "Abilify" as the mechanism seemed similar to Amisulpride which seems to work particularly well for dysthymia (I live in the US). It worked for a brief period (very brief) then stopped.
In the past I have taken Celexa, Lexapro, several tricyclics, Effexor, Remeron etc.
Only thing that worked COMPLETELY, then and now, was the name brand (Lilly, now "Dista") Prozac.
Hope this option helps someone.
