Depression Meds

[DavidMn]

As I'm sure I've mentioned before I've battled severe deperssion for most if not all of my adult life. One of the things I've found difficult is finding the appropriate med or combo thereof to help me. When I was with my now ex Derek I was on Selexa, Wellbutrin, and Buspar. (I know, a real ****in lunatic right?) Anyway, after we broke up I didnt take any for awhile and of course that most definitely affected me, and not in a good way at all. When I'm not on meds I'm very prone to mood swings where i'll go off on friends without provocation. I decided last summer that I had to go on them again or I would become a complete trainwreck. I went to see the Psychaiatrist and she put me back on Selexa because she told me that helps with both anxeity and depression. I was also really freaked out because about a month before I went into see her I suffered a terrible enxeity attack where I honestly thought I was having a heart attack it was that bad. I have anxeity attacks about 2-3 times a year and they usually last about 15 minutes but this one lasted for almost 90 minuntes. Anyway, Since Ive been on this Selexa, I've noticed a huge difference in my demeanor. I dont go off at all like I used to and the anxeity attacks have stopped completely. I started on 20mg a day, then 40, now I'm up to 60. Whats weird is that when I was on the trifecta of meds back a few years ago I dont remember it helping me as much as just being on the one has. I know alot of you dont want to discuss a topic like this as it relates to your personal life, but if anyone cares to, I'd love to know what you take and what works for you. Thank you.
