… and they seem to be working. Even Mr t thinks I’m better. The constant up and down has settled and I’m just dealing with whatever life throws me. Maybe this has been the answer all along…

4 months into the happy pills

That is so great, have been wondering how you are getting on as you have been so quiet of late.
Just a word of caution, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, DO NOT stop taking the meds thinking your better, I have friends who have done this and simply end up rebounding back into depression, start taking meds again and go round the same vicious circle every few months because they keep thinking they can just stop taking the meds! The advice I have is that you need to remain stable for a minimum of 6 months before even considering reducing and even then only very slowly, due to the severity of depression I had I have been told not to touch the med levels for at least a year, still another 6 months, and then not to expect to ever manage to be medication free, just too dangerous for me.
So I am resigned to the fact that I will rattle for the rest of my life, but then I am on meds for 2 other conditions already so whats a few more pills to pop?
