      I've been on several antidepressants and that's it . Doctor wants me to talk to someone in order to get out on mood stabslizers but nothing works honestly . I wish I could help but I'm in the same boat it's hard

      I've literally tried almost every medication out there and it hasn't helped to the degree I want it to. I'm supposed to be taking Zoloft, after being prescribed it a month ago but I haven't taken but three or so pills out of the bottle. I don't want to be drugged up just to appear normal.

          @zerochan There's too many to name. But off the top of my head, Seroquel, which sedated me pretty hard, Abilify, which caused many toxic symptoms like dizziness and fainting, Prozac, Latuda, that one worked, i just hated the weight gain on it, Lithium I had nightmares all the time on it, I tried all the mood stabilizers and they did nothing for me.

      I don't know exactly what medications would help you but if you can, tell them you want to see a psychiatrist but if they aren't helping you then I would suggest looking to get help somewhere else if possible
