In reply to no medicine works for me, help!, posted by Bonnie on May 2, 2000, at 23:23:32
Bonnie,
I too have had severe difficulty finding a med to work for me with side effects that are not worse than the depression. I also had no luck with prozac, celexa, and effexor. It sounds to me like you have tried very similar meds. Both celexa and prozac are SSRIs. While effexor is not officially an SSRI, it acts in a very similar way. Also wellbutrin can be very stimulating which may be a problem for you. Maybe you could look into some completely different types of depression drugs such as a tricyclic (ex. elavil) or serzone (which is sort of in a class by itself) or there are several others. However, I would highly recommend therapy in addition to the drugs if you are not already in it.
> i am 15 years old and have been suffering from depression for about 9 months and i am so sick of it and want it to be over it. I have tried Prozac, wellbutrin, Celexa, and Effexor. None of these meds have worked. I am working my hardest and think I am making people around me depressed. I just want it to go away,I would appreciate any advice. Just don;t say "hang in there". Thanks
