starting to wonder whether i'm asking too much of my antidepressants? like, when i saw the different doc yesterday he seemed surprised that i had noticed basically no overall improvement/minimal after 6 months on citalopram and 1 and a half on sertraline (i have noticed small improvements every time i increase but they tend to subside after a couple weeks) and that i thought a lot of my progress was due to my counselling and just the process of seeing my doc every other week.
like, how much effect should i be expecting? i know they're not "happy pills" so I'm not exactly hoping to be bouncing out bed whistling and skipping to lectures, but still. i can get out of bed and to lectures. i can sustain social interaction for a number of hours. but i still feel so empty and sad and numb and i'm still having bad urges and nights of crying and terrible insomnia. is this as good as its gonna get?
