Amy,
I'm doing somewhat better with cymbalta but I still find life unenjoyable and unfulfilling - even meaningless. The only reason I haven't checked out, although I'm not actively suicidal, is that I don't want to do that to my daughter. Basically, I'm just biding my time, hoping I can move to a lake cabin in a few years.
I wish acid were legal. It's the best anti-depressant I ever took. I never had a bad trip and my cheeks would hurt the next day from smiling so much. Is there an anti-depressant that is even remotely similar? I gave it up years ago mainly because it's illegal and I knew I'd never get anything done if I took it on a steady basis.
I'm always interested in new medications. I'm surprised I haven't taken any of the drugs you recommended. But there was a gap between 2001 and this summer that I didn't take any prescription drugs so I got out of touch with the medication scene.
I'll still check out the drugs you listed. Cymbalta is no miracle; in fact, I've had to reduce the dose from 60mgs to 20mgs per day which isn't even considered therapeutic.
