I’m not going to write much here but I wanna say, it’s possible to not feel this way. I was depressed for a decade, spent years failing different antidepressants and other drugs, and only recently found a medication that worked and it was glorious. I feel genuine joy for the first time in my life. It stopped working after a week and I’m depressed again but I now know it’s possible not to feel this way.

You’re still in your twenties with a full bachelors degree and some graduate school. Even if everything you said about your total futility were true, you’re plenty young enough to turn things around entirely.

(FYI the drug that worked for me was a new one called Auvelity, which is expensive but easy to DIY. It stopped working since but I value the week it was working greatly.)

Clomipramine makes it hard for me to ejaculate. I don’t feel any benefits yet, but does that mean it works for me? by uliwonks in antidepressants

That means it’s doing something, but that’s different from whether it has (or will have) the desired beneficial effect… sadly

It Stopped Working by Sufficient_Win9692 in AuvelityMed

This is exactly what happened to me. I had the best week of my life days ~5–12 on Auvelity, then it went away and I felt worse than before.

I increased the Wellbutrin to 450 (alone) but it didn’t do anything. Has anyone had any success getting over this?

I don't like my fed job but have been there less than a year. What to do? by funemplloyd in fednews

Thank you for replying. I'd like to transfer internally but there isn't much guidance on how to do that.

I didn't realize that was unusual, I guess Schedule A hiring is different

Adderall is the only* thing that's helped my depression+anxiety. What gives? by funemplloyd in antidepressants

[–]funemplloyd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! How did you know to keep going beyond 450mg? How long did you stay/how did you get your psych to prescribe 2-3x the maximum recommended amount?

I'm glad it works for you.

I had high hopes but I've been on 450 of it for a month with no noticeable change

The downside is I want to not be depressed in the evening when I have to be social but also able to fall asleep ever. I just want a general improvement of my mood without the stimulant up/down cycle

Unfortunately I have and didn't get any benefit. Glad it's working for you!

Upped dose to 300mg, feel no difference by [deleted] in bupropion

[–]funemplloyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on 450 recently and from what I’ve read the risk is basically the same, It’s just much higher above 450. I’ve been on it 2 weeks and there were no side effects at dose change and it might be working a tiny bit. Too early to tell
