Noa,
You are currently dealing with a number of stressors that even the most
cheerful of individuals might find extremely upsetting. I can't say if
your meds are working for you or not, but even if they are working, a life
without affect is not to be had (or desired, if you ask me) from anti-
depressant treatment. The feelings of depression and disarray may be quite
natural under the circumstances.Just a thought.
> Damn. Was feeling increasingly better, but have started feeling depressed again. It is hard for me to know whether to think about another change in meds, or if that is beside the point, given the stress I am under. I am overwhelmed at work. I have an adversarial legal situation pending. My apartment is no longer feeling like a home, it is so disgusting. Some difficult stuff came up in therapy. My privacy in therapy may end up being invaded by the legal thing. My finances are a mess. Will a change in meds help me deal with all of that?
> Also, I am already on a multi-med combo. My doc talks about adding lithium, neurontin, or lamictal. Do I just keep adding and adding meds? At what point do we evaluate the combo? How?
