Or should it be God I am thanking???
I thanked God for curing me of depression back in 1990 but the depression came back worse. So I find it very hard to believe that a God who apparently made me in his image could have created me to be the way I have been. Could have created me to want to kill mys3elf if I don't take medication.
I really want to know why Zyprexa seems to reset me back to the way I used to be. It can't be the H Receptors because doesn't mirtazapine hit those receptors and I tried Mirtazapine at age 35 and it make the anxiety excrutiating.
So I would would love to know what it is doing that make me feel so much better. Because I would rather die without it.

I doubt God would feel it necessary that you thank him, but I'm sure he would love hearing from you.
Denise, I will pray for you. I don't see how it can hurt. I suffered with bipolar depression that was scored as "severely depressed" between ages 17 and 60. I never had an adulthood. I always believed that my time would come, but I was never given a guarantee or a timetable. I never thought that my still youthful mind would awaken to an aging body. Still, I realize that I could have died without ever having lived. I am thankful that I was blessed with an opportunity to experience life outside the altered state of consciousness that is depression.
You say that you would love to know what it is that is making you feel better. From your words, I thought it was Zyprexa that made the difference. You want to know why Zyprexa makes you feel better. My advice is just make sure that you don't do anything that would squander your new-found remission. If the most brilliant neuroscientists can't answer your question with certainty, then what will you expect to accomplish by spending your precious time trying to ascertain the neurobiology responsible for your remission? Your focus should be on the empirical. It is far more important to know what works rather than how it works. Over the last few years, I spent very little time researching stuff. I have too much living to do without depression. Enjoy your gift.
One thing that is worthwhile to spend some time doing is to keep up with the newest treatments - just in case you relapse. Right now, I would consider SAINT to be the first treatment worth considering should depression reemerge. Brain tissue "stimulation" might end up being the first-line treatment for depression and other mental illnesses.
What is new and positive in your life, now that you are feeling better?
