- lexapro: first one ever, made me feel very flat and actually more depressed
- wellbutrin: made me manic and possibly activated my bipolar disorder
- prozac: sweaty and agitated
- zoloft: sweaty and agitated
- lithium: sleepy
- seroquel: sleepy
- buspar: didnβt work
- lamotrigine: horrific
- abilify: combined with zoloft + caffeine it felt like I took molly or ecstasy this was actually fun
for me personally the best antidepressant was realizing I was using drugs and alcohol to cope, stopped smoking weed all the time, find a good match for a therapist, ate healthier, got a job that was fulfilling, get off social media, exercise, find a supportive partner (itβs all easier said than done but this truly does help)

I started on lexapro which helped w acute depressive episodes and allowed me to do things that would actually make me happy (seeing friends, keeping my life in order etc). I have increased dose/changed meds a couple of times now, and I feel like things get better for a while but then a low to medium-grade depression kinda returns (to be fixed by dose increases or med changes again). Bc of this, Iβm interested in making a sustained effort for a year to make good habits etc etc (+ psychology) which will help me be more resilient in myself, and then to come off them. Extremely helpful and necessary for me when I needed them π
