Depression but allergic to Prozac, other drugs used for it
I have depression but I'm allergic to Prozac and other drugs for depression. Any ideas? I was on something else (hydroxyzpam) not typically used for depression but it's too expensive.

Hi Linda,
Have you found a medication that works yet?
Take care,
Rox
Remeron, Effexor, Viibryd are good!
Celexa works pretty well. I also had ECT work pretty well, but research it first on the computer to get familar. Make sure you're excercising everyday and doing fun and social activities.. write to me anytime if you need to talk. I've been through a lot. I will say some prayers for ya!!!
I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder about 15 years ago and have tried many different medications including Depakote. I was feeling worse than ever and decided to get off of the Depakote and try ECT treatments...I've had 9 so far and have had no side effects. I also feel much better without the Depakote which made my hands shake etc, and wasn't doing anything for me!
Has anyone been treated at Minn. Mayo for treatment resistant depression or Bipolar? I'm thinking of going, I"M DESPERATE! So tired of over 12 years of hell! Any effective treatments others would recommend?
HAVE YOU TRIED CYMBALTA ?
