Hi there, definitely get your thyroid checked if you haven't already, mine was terrible so am on meds for it.

I've been on many antidepressants for years, some worked better than others but had awful side effects, felt like I couldn't win and none of them truly helped that much, I had (have) severe, severe depression, since about age 18.

Was on Zoloft for years, gained a lot of weight, ugh..that stopped working so was put on Wellbutrin, what a miracle, (had a concussion from an accident and dosage had to be doubled but that's another story)

So many have terrible side effects but Wellbutrin so far, touch wood, has none.

I know how you feel, for years and years I felt like I was fighting to get well.

Hugs...
