The new depression medication I am on is officially not working.
This may temporarily delay new stories and story updates. It may also prevent me from participating in the current Writeoff, but it's too soon to tell. We'll see.
Don't worry about me. I'm very much used to this by now, and I have a decent social support network.
Well, a let me send a hug anyway, and good luck.

It's a constant struggle, but I'm okay. Thanks for the well-wishes.
The main issue is that I'm still struggling to get off the narcotics, but the depression feeds into that a little. As does the fact I recently caused severe tissue damage to my mouth with sulfuric acid (oops).

Psychology is a world of contradictions. The people who seem happiest frequently aren't.
I used an OTC remedy for aphthous ulcers that was rejected by the FDA but is legal in other countries. I overdid the application and caused deep tissue damage.
Is it a "massive side-effect" thing or just a "no effect at all, yet" thing?

It just ain't doing much after ramping up for three weeks and being at full dose for three weeks.
From what my close friends who use depression meds tell me, I feel like finding one that works consistently is like trying to catch the wind. Especially if you have other difficulties. One friend deals with constant anxiety attacks, and has developed stomach issues which make most foods uneatable. It sucks. I'm sorry to hear you're having an equally rough time of it TQ At least you've got a good support network, so there's that. Keep strong, TQ!
