I’ve been on medication before

I’m not even sure what truly works for depression. The only medication that works for anything I struggle with is zyprexa as an antipsychotic. I’m diagnosed bipolar with pschizo affective. I came off of certain medications a few months ago because of really bad side effects. And now I’m wondering if I need to go back on something else especially for the depression. I just don’t know what will work.

How the brain works remains a mystery in many ways. So unfortunately psychiatrists oftentimes don’t know what medications will be effective and it comes down to a whole lot of trial and error before hitting on the right medication/combo of medications. Leaving both the good and bad news that there are a lot of them to try. I know it’s not easy but you just have to be willing to be patient and hang in there. And hopefully add therapy as well.
