Psych medications arent great. They also work differently on different people and sometimes the best option is to choose the lesser of two evils (ie: not being depressed vs. being flat).

Although I am not a fan of using medications to counteract side effects of other medications, have you and your prescriber talked about considering stimulants in addition to your depression medications? Those can sometimes help counteract the blah feelings that people get.

also, what medications have you tried and which one are you on now?

I totally understand what youre saying and Im sorry youre not finding the right fit. It does get frustrating for people when they have various side effects from them.

To be honest, what I am on right now is an atypical antidepressant and fairly mild in its effects, so Id rather stick to having the highs and lows chopped out (and causing me to want to binge on choc chip cookies ) to experimenting with stuff that could make me non-functional.

Im a parent, so being a robot and having to fake it is preferable to being non-functional.
