hey - don't be so hard on yourself. are you in therapy? exercising regularly? i have just begun and am finding both are the best things i've looked into so far. around last novemeber i had a small breakdown and lost my girlfriend, job, life etc. at the moment i am a little drugged out on the nardil and finding it a relief to just let go of everything :) now i am taking life in baby steps. just getting to the gym each day at the moment provides some sense of accomplishment that is sticking with me. i understand your situation is more severe and imagine you have looked into a lot of treatments. i am also sorry to hear you've lost so much time to depression, and realise that words from a stranger can only provide so much comfort. but hang in there
> My doctor doesn't want to go up too fast, because in the past it made me a little manic, which i liked. I'm also on the lamictal, which prevents me from sinking as far as I did, and having disproportionate reactions. The Lamictal potentiates the Nardil, so he wants to be careful, but my patience is wearing very, very thin. Every week I can't function because I'm waiting for side effects too subside, being cautious, is another week of my life that passes me by. I've basically lost my 20's to depression. And I'm way beyond others in life skills, finances, relationships, career. I'm the biggest underachiever you've ever seen, and it's sad.
