Well, I think about diabetics and they do have to make changes with their meds over time. Hypertension causes med changes. My mother started out on one hypertensive med about 30 years ago. Now, she is on 4. She started out on glucophage for type 2 diabetes and now she has to take insulin shots in addition to the glucophage. She has to take something for her arthritis and something for her high cholesterol too. She is taking hormones. She is taking something for bone lose. When you think about it, she wasn't on any meds 30 years ago. So, yes, with depression it changes too. It needs adjustments additions, etc. But, my mother was depressed all her life and was *NEVER* treated for that. Perhaps, if she were, maybe she wouldn't be so unhealthy today?
I do know a guy who has been on Wellbutrin for over 10 years. I wonder if it doesn't have the poop out that SSRI do. Also, I have read that MAOI's tend to not have poop out as fast either. What's your thoughts?
