6+ weeks into Marplan 60mg/day therapy and this is how I feel:
Hard to describe. I know it is doing something, but it's not enough.
No suicidal ideation, but still not getting much pleasure out of anything, low concentration, ugh feeling when waking up, fatigue, avolition...
The best way I can describe it--this feels just like I did before I put the first antidepressant in my mouth about 10 years ago, only a bit worse. It also feels like I felt when my first AD, Zoloft, pooped out.
So it's perhaps returned me to my original baseline--which is still ill. I don't know what to think, or do, next.
Augmentation is an option, I guess. I suspect it's a dopamine thing but who knows.
SLS, if you are reading this, what do you think? And also what's up next for you?
I also don't want anyone to fail to consider this drug just because I'm having trouble with it--there are two posters here doing well on it.
Wishing I could find a doc willing to do a trial of buprenorphine....
