wish you guys lived near by; i'd buy you all some beers and burgers...
thanks for the responses about abilify.
i have tried zoloft, celexa, lexapro, welbbutrin, ect, remeron and klonopin.
the remeron and klonopin have brought some relief; good sleep and less anxiety. no real help in my depression.
but! something seems to be happening these past few weeks. nothing to do with meds. i am getting-up and out of bed on a consistent basis for the first time since my depression started 22 months ago. (this is my first depressive episode.)
i have exercised as well for the first time in over a year and bumped-up my talk therapy to 2 times a week.
they say most depressive episodes due come to an end with time. i mentioned that when i first got here a few months ago. (remember scott? 'time and patience are the greatest warriors.' tolstoy)
i know it may not seem like much, and i am still miles away from what i would consider remission, but i am forcing myself to get up and out of the house each day. this has not happened since this nightmare started.
i'd rather wait on the abilify and see how this new change plays out.
i have also been reducing my klonopin. wondering if this has anything to do with the recent change?
thanks again guys. you are all kind to throw your opinions my way.
