Oh I definitely am still medicated. Did a Prozac 'bridge' then switched to Cymbalta. Just isn't doing enough. Gonna see about increasing the dose next appointment (which will be long enough to see if it will work). I had a nice break from depression for almost two weeks.
I've learned the hard way, through a psych ward stay, that I need to be medicated. My brain is not functional for long without it. Just need to find something that works.
Doc is willing to try a straight up Rx stimulant to see if it can get me to where I can do the necessary self care to get better.
