Bipolar treatment: Is there anyone who take Brentelix, Cipramil, Lamictin? what diffence does it make in your body? I take meds but I don't think they help me.

I am taking 60mg Cymbalta per day and 10mg Valium to help me sleep for anxiety and severe depression.

have been on Wellbutrin before for depression, Doc is adding Lamictal 25 mg to start to help with racing thoughts (no apparently Bipolar) just depression, anxiety that will not leave.

Started TMS this week, 3 treatments so far. Those of you that found TMS helpful in treating your Depression, about how long did it take to start feeling a difference? I know everyone is different, but it would be nice to hear any feelings or time frames on how long it took to start feeling better. Thank you!

I have been struggling with depression for over 30 years. No medication works for me except Fluoxetine which has lost its effectiveness. I am at the highest dose and it is doing nothing

I was diagnosed about 15 years ago and each episode gets worse. I'm in therapy, taking meds; in short I'm working very hard, but still struggling. Recently I heard that someone in their mid seventies took their own life. I'm 59 and terrified that I'll be struggling forever. Depression is such a dark place to live.

I am wanting to go back to school to began advocate. Over the years I have learned a lot about our unjust system. Being a single mom who had to fight to get my housing back because I was discriminated against . I have grown to have a passion for it.
