Have you considered augmenting with something like Wellbutrin? Some people find it helps with the side effects. I've tried it myself and while I found it was too anxiety-inducing (I felt too keyed up) there's truth to that at least.
- ljm 5y agoNo, not personally. I eventually was able to come off the medication. Took a couple of weeks to get back to some semblance of normal but I'm sure there's permanent damage still. That said, it's not easy to walk away from suicidal depression (and attempts to commit suicide) without a decent helping of trauma, and potentially even PTSD. So, of course, there isn't really a 'normal' to go back to once you've got the awareness of that and how far down the rabbit hole you fell. Normal becomes something else.
- ivraatiems 5y agoWellbutrin has no sexual side effects (the opposite, in fact) and is very effective for depression (but not anxiety). You might want to give it a try if you are still struggling. Of course, it comes with its own tapestry of possible issues. Either way, hope you are doing OK/OK enough.
