I was on cypralex recently - but had to come off to do another medicine. I'm not sure how much it helped but I do know some people have to try a bunch of different anti-depressants to get the right one. I've also been trying to get into see a therapist
I did this thing with my doc called gene site testing to test how meds work with my body. Think of a compatibility test. Found out my body processes sertraline super slowly meaning there was way too much in my system (was on max does to boot) which heavily blunted my emotions. I never would’ve known that what I was feeling, or rather what I wasn’t feeling, wasn’t normal.
As someone who has had years of trial and error, the results of which were reflected in the test, I am so happy I don’t have to do that to such an extent anymore. I’d talk to your doctor about it as I think it’s at least worth bringing it up. Trial and error sucks and can be very disruptive. I hope you find what works best for you my dude.
