nothing really has happened much, im still on zpyrexa, and at night zyprexa wipes me out, but the next day the medicines seem they are not working, it's vary wierd because couple days ago i could feel the effect, the depression was liftrd, i know what prozac, it just makes you see enjoyment in life, kinda like a ... mood improvement, thats all i can say, and i know there is the placebo effect, but, it's been like this for 5 years, the medicine lost it's effect in early 2011, and it has been pit derpession, cursing my body for making all these problems, but still......
the only way now, is spirituality.....the doctor thinks it's normal, and said it's not a problem, it is....yes, i know there not working and for a long time......so, either believing in the cosmos of the universe, learn about enlightment, or simple healing from jesus christ, im so fluttered in the choices to go to spiruality, i sit and think of every sin i have done, and write to god and repent, and then move into other things, metaphysics, the darkside, moving to too many things yet not making a choice to follow them, and all this is based, on whats going on right now, spirituality seems the only way out.....

I'm no longer responding to vitamin D3, so I'm no longer promoting it to individuals with depression that isn't responding well to treatment like I was when I wrote to you about it last. Having said that, I don't think it would hurt to get some tests done for markers of illnesses that produce depression or depression-like symptoms. Taking vitamin D3 if your blood level of the vitamin is low or getting a thyroid disorder treated if your thyroid hormone levels come back as abnormal would certainly make sense, although I can't say for sure that doing these things will necessarily relieve you of the symptoms that you're experiencing.
Regarding your medications, do you think that it might be worthwhile to try lowering the dose of one or more of your medications or tapering off of one or more of them completely (under professional supervision, of course)? I ask this because it doesn't sound like you're responding to your medications very well -- especially in the treatment of your depressive symptoms -- based on what you've written here. I'm not opposed to taking medications, but you do seem to write a lot about your medications not working, and if it is the case that at least the medications that you're taking for your depressive symptoms aren't working, then I'd question whether some of your medications are serving their intended purposes.

i have switched medications, and they had no effect too, i went to wellbutrin, also lyrica, it's like my body isnt absorbing it in the gasto track.....yet the zyprexa wipes me out at night.....but the others it's difficult to see their effect, even when new medications are used......
anyways, there's not much i can do right now about it, expet pray for faith healing.....the doctor thinks im worry too much.....and it's like someone telling someone they have a extreme headache and they just say it's from stress.....when it's a blood vessel condition
ill have to do some more work, and prayer on this....just want curse and kick my entire body for causing more problems.......learn to have a postive mind set instead of being angry all the time with problems
thanks for your response tomatheus :)
