Howdy there, I’ve suffered from major depressive disorder for most of my life (since 14). Depression is a very tricky illness. Even on meds, sometimes you still just feel depressed and don’t want to get out of bed. That’s pretty normal. I’m on the highest dose of Zoloft right now but it’s not doing anything for me anymore so I’ll be switching back to cymbalta, which works very well for depression and has pain control aspects to it to that help with my fibromyalgia. If you don’t feel like you’re doing any better or making even small progress, you might need to change medications. I know my husband had to try like 4 different ones before he found one that worked well for him. Good luck. I’m 36 and dealing with depression while adulting is no easy task. Always available to chat if you’d like. ❤️
