Anti-depresssant aren’t working: What medications have helped you?
Depression & Anxiety | Last Active: 17 hours ago | Replies (21)Comment receiving replies
Has anyone had any experience with taking duloxetine or vilazodone?
These were recommended by my doctor after having no success from several medications?
Is there permanent damage to my cognitive skills with these
multiple prescriptions for depression?
I am currently not on any medication since the side effects have been many and there has been no change in my condition.
Has anyone experienced this drug-resistant depression?
TMS doesn’t seem like a good choice since it only works for a year.
Thoughts or comments are welcome.
I know that everyone has different reactions to theses medications.

Duloxetine is one of the 2 meds I've been taking for depression for almost 10 years now. I haven't really noticed any side effects unless I don't take them when I'm supposed to. Basically every 12 hours.

I have been o no less than 50 meds in 40 years. Ketamine, shock treatments and have found the only thing that makes me feel right Is alcohol.. bad path!!!! I just stopped wellbutrin that was added with desvenlafaxine. I almost lost my mind. I have debilitating depression and anxiety, so now I don't work. So I have all day to feel sorry for myself. The only one that got me through life was effexor with 1mg klonopin at night. I would have some beers after work. Depression and anxiety were gone. Then my father passed. Couldn't take it. The effexor quit working after I quit drinking. So I can't really help you. I'm back on the pill merry go round. But can say that effexor really helped me until it pooped out after 15 years
