I know it's all a matter of trial and error but I'm just about to start my 3rd different anti depressant tonight. The doctor has said if this doesn't help me nothing will. He's given me a very strong pill that reacts in two different ways with the brain aparently and hopefully I should start to feel the effects in a few days.

My last lot made me really aggressive and short tempered so I am hoping these ones work better. They dont have as many side effects that will effect me like the others have so I hoping this time they have got it right.

It's horrible trying to find the right anti-d, so I do sympathise. I got on best with amytriptilene (sp) but they don't use that one anymore for depression.

Good luck and keep us all updated, xxx.
