Title says it all. I’m feeling pretty defeated. I have been off meds for the past 7 months and have fallen into a severe depressive episode. I moved to a new area about 6 months ago and sought psychiatric care. I gave them a list of my past meds. The psychiatrist  asked “What has worked the best for you in the past” and I responded with “Wellbutrin but it eventually stopped working” so she said “Okay we are putting you back on that”. 

While Wellbutrin did work the best for me (with increasing the dosage continually over a year or so - went up to 450 MG which is the highest dose) it it eventually stopped working for me. I should’ve advocate for myself but I was just in utter shock by the lack of empathy the psychiatrist had. Has anyone had a similar experience?
