depression work for all people. You situation is not unique. The stresses we are all under cause us to react in different ways. Depression should be treated like any other sickness and if one medication doesn't work, you try another. Ask your MD about Citalopram(generic Celexa). It has done me a world of good and I've only been on it for 3 weeks. My mood has lifted, I do not feel the since of despair, anger and incredible sadness that I was having for about 6 months.

I take it (40MG) in the morning and can feel myself lifted as the day goes by. It does nothing for the restless leg syndrome and lack of sleep but I have other medications for that.

I am the type of person that never takes pills. I have been fortunate to be healthy enough to get to be my age (senior) in good health but the depression was the thing that finally did me in.

I have since found that it is a very large club we are in.
