Hi guys,
I'm sure some of you have seen/responded to my posts in the past. I have been on meds since I was 13, am 27 years old now, and having a bit of a rough go of it. I have taken many many antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and antipsychotics. Recently I have developed adverse reactions to SSRI's Celexa, Zoloft, and Prozac. I spent some time off the meds because I was sure they had made me sick, but depression/anxiety/agitation got so bad I felt suicidal. I am just starting Remeron (which I'd taken before) 15mg 5 days ago and it is helping a bit but I am so tired, lethargic, and hungry I am feeling hopeless of recovery.
I am accepting that perhaps I am a "lifer" with psych drugs, and was wondering if anyone has taken antidepressants/psych meds for this long successfully? I keep fearing that nothing will help me ever again, and I will never move on from this phase. If anybody has successfully stayed on these drugs for about 14+ years and is living a normal, happy life, please share with me your experience. It doesn't have to be perfect, but I need to know it's possible. God bless us all, we all deserve the best. Thanks.
