I am a 31 year old female and have suffered from depression since my early teens. It has only been in the last two years that I have sought treatment though. My doctor started me on Serzone and it worked wonderfully. In fact, it worked so well that I thought I could go off the medication and manage it myself. WRONG! It took another year before I sought help again. Like before, my doc put me back on Serzone but it did not have the same effect. So, the merry-go-round started. I was tried on Paxil, Wellbutrin, and Remeron ... all of which had horrible side effects for me. I am now on Pamelor and while I don't notice any of the side effects like the others, it just doesn't seem to be working. I feel drained and unmotivated all the time and just can't seem to get "excited" about anything. Is that a possible side effect? I haven't found much in the way of postings on this medication. Is it because it is not prescribed much or what? Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Frankly, I'm getting tired of all the meds. My doc has been wonderful about working with me, but I'm getting worn out. Please help!
