Thank you for your comment. You articulated exactly what I was trying to say. I have had periods during this fight of many decades where antidepressants along with therapy both by a psychiatrist and a therapist in addition to the meds. Unfortunately, they all stopped working for me and yes some were torturous for me personally. I also had mentioned I did do TMS twice, once with limited success and the second with no success. I have never stopped trying to treat my depression until my last experience with Trintellex which made me so sick but I still took it for 2-3 years. I had decided enough was enough and believe it or not, my depression has at least been somewhat tolerable since stopping antidepressants. I’m happy that they work for the person who commented to me that he felt sorry for my family. I thought it was truly the most insensitive response I’ve ever heard or read. Thank you for your explanation and validation that there is not a one fix for all.

You are most welcome. From my experience as a mental health professional I too found the response to be very insensitive. I;m glad you found my words to be validating. People seem to think there’s a pill for everything and everyone and it’s simply not true. I wish you all the best on your journey. Many people find they feel surprisingly better when they stop medications that were actually making them worse. Let’s hope that continues for you.
