Has anyone here with chronic depression and major depressive episodes returned to feeling normal?

Question:

What was your major depression like and did you find meds that got you to a place better than just merely chronically depressed?

I'm now taking effexor which got me out of the horrible dissociation I get with major depression, but I still have no motivation and nothing seems to get me jazzed or feeling genuinely happy. The pdoc wants to add Wellbutrin on top, but mixing meds sounds like it might cause more problems. Is there hope?

Answers:
I had major problems with depression and I took Effexor and Prozac for over three years. I'm off all of my meds now and doing better than ever!!! Mixing meds worked best for me and in the end helped me get off of them all together

I take effexor too and my doc added the wellbutrin on top of it. Honestly, I feel a little better,but I still don't feel like I used to before I had the depressive episodes. People react differently to different drug combos, so it might work for you. And I like to think that there is hope for all of us. Good luck.
