I know this question is commonly asked on this sub, but I’d like to share my experiences with medications and I want to know what others recommend.

I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember. I got diagnosed and I started taking Zoloft. Zoloft made me feel like a zombie, so I was switched to Wellbutrin. Wellbutrin really helped improve my base mood, but I broke out in horrible hives a few weeks after starting it. After that I started Prozac, but it gave me terrible insomnia and actually worsened my depression. Soon after, I was diagnosed with OCD and BPD and my psychiatrist suggested Lexapro. I’ve been taking it for about a month now, and I believe it helps a lot with my general feeling of optimism, but over this past month I have been very depressed. Occasionally to the point where I can’t do anything. I’m seeing my psychiatrist again next week and I’m not sure if I should ask to up my dosage. switch to something else, or add another medication to the Lexapro. I will also be starting therapy this month. 

Does anyone have any medication recommendations? Something that works for you?


TL;DR - what meds work for you? I want to talk with my psychiatrist about starting something new.
