I have been dealing with Depression in my life for over 20 years now. I will share with you the things that I know worked for me. The first thing is to find a DR who will prescribe an anti-depressent, if you have not done so already. The second thing is to take the meds exactly as prescribed every single day. No skipping doses because "I forget" or "I don't have it with me" or "I don't like the way it makes me feel" or any other excuse. I take my at bedtime every day since they tend to make me sleepy anyway. The third is to keep track of all the moods, 1) to find any triggers that may make things worse and 2) to monitor how the med is actually working. Next is to make and keep any appointments, with the DR, he suggests for follow up. He needs to know if the med he prescribes is working well enough or if he needs to prescribe a different kind. Every individual will have different physical and mental reactions to each med. He needs to know what is and is not working for you. After doing all that, one step at a time, I have found significant and lasting relief. I hope you will too.

God Bless you and keep you,
