I've been treated for depression since I was 16. The first few years was just counselling and when that didn't work very well, they started the medication. I've been on wellbutrin, cymbalta, effexor, and lexapro, all without success. I currently do not have a therapist or family physician, which is why I'm currently not on any other medication for this.

I've known my DH since before I was officially diagnosed, so this is the me he has always known but it seems to be affecting our relationship more now than it ever has before. My family only calls me when they need something and when I try to reach out to them, they are always too busy or have other plans when I try to organize a get together. I have no real life friends here, or anywhere, which makes things even more difficult when my DH is at work and I'm home alone.

I've been having a hard time finding a family physician that I trust. With my previous experiences with doctors, it's very hard for me to open up to them. It's gotten to the point where I don't even want to try anymore. It took me months of suffering with extreme symptoms before I even called to make an appointment with an Ob/Gyn. My biggest fear for finding a new family physician is that he/she will not take my PCOS diagnosis and concerns seriously. Every doctor I have been to, it was always rush, rush, rush - get in and get out.

I just need some help...

I am sorry you are feeling this way. I was on all of the above mentioned medications and none worked. I would try Prozac as that is the only drug that worked for my depression. Feel better soon!

Hey I can relate--I have been on so many meds too!! I am so sorry you are going through this. It is tough!! I have had to get my hormones level and cut out whites/sugars for my meds to help me though. Have you looked on the list of doctors in your state?

So sorry to hear about your struggles. One suggestion about finding a doctor is see if they'll meet with you for an interview of sorts before you chose them. That's how I found my doctor, and I was able to ask him questions about PCOS- he was very open and knowledgable and will to work with me. But there are doctors out there that are so rushed it feels like they don't care. Good Luck!
