It's obviously not everyone's case and you should not have to put up with any bad side effects you don't want to. But as an example, I have learned to put up with the vivid dreams and heavy sweating at night because the positives it brings me are incomparably huge. I tried another medication in the past that was giving me different side effects and those were definitely not worth it. It is so hard to find, and perhaps for some people, there is nothing out there yet that helps, we don't know. 
I understand the loss of motivation when you've tried so much, I wish it were simpler for everyone.

I'm 35 with no partner, no children, and no career. All I have is a bachelor's degree, but not sure how much good it's doing me at this point. This is mainly because of my mental and physical illnesses that I'm still trying to seek help for. But time keeps moving forward in the meantime and I'm getting older. And I wonder how much more time I have to experience having a family of my own, or if that's too far of a reach for me and will never happen. I suppose there's more to life than a nuclear family and a career. Perhaps we only feel so strongly about these things because we've been pressured our entire lives to obtain them. I believe life still has meaning outside of these things, so I'm not extremely depressed about it, I suppose. Just a bit sad. Maybe moderately sad. I just don't know what more to look forward to if those things don't end up happening for me after all. And the uncertainty scares me. That I might never feel fulfilled. But maybe no one truly feels fulfilled, I don't know. I have a few other things to look forward to still. And I haven't lost faith or hope. I just don't know what to expect anymore out of life.
Hi Aurelia, I'm sure you're aware of this, but aren't there like 5, or 6 different types of drug classes for antidepressants?
I'm only asking, becasue I thought I'd read earlier/or the other day, about how you've tried something like - two or three?
Now, you are well within your right, to say when enough is enough. For that is your call, and perfecty fine & everything.
Just may be keep that in the back of your mind: should you encounter problems, or troubles which seem unsolveable,
in so far as your ability to feel well enough to cope, as is; ah! here I think it is... best wishes~

I'm feeling down and can't seem to shake it. I've eaten, tried to lose myself in something on TV, nothing's working. I remember I posted here that my friend offered to give me quite a bit of money, in the end I didn't take the money, but I would much rather have someone's time than their money. She said we could meet up, I messaged her on Friday saying I was free today, it blue ticked, the weekend came and went, today came and went. I guess the complete silence was a no then. I fucking hate being ignored 😒 I know I feel like this sometimes and nothing will shake it except riding it out, so I'll have to go to bed. I enjoyed the crazy month of non-stop work but I think I'm burned out a bit from it. I just wish I had a button that would end this pointless existence peacefully, once and for all.
I can say that I had withdrawal symptoms after I stopped Seroquel (actually ran out and insurance wouldn't pay for more) What you describe sounds familiar. Bad stomach cramps also
What I've read since says that the dosages should be gradually decreased, I'm not advising that anything be done without a doctor's involvement
peace

Im glad that you're here Avid fan. That's weird that your friend didn't respond. It does sound like she cares. I hope that by the time you read this you're feeling somewhat better. 
It’s been an awful week. I feel so defeated and burned out by it all. Sleep has been the only solace I’ve gotten, I’ve been sleeping nearly twice as much recently. I go to bed right after dinner because every moment I have to be awake for feels like torture.
I’m on my way to work right now and I feel terrible. It’s going to be such a busy day at work, and I think I might have screwed up while scheduling a patient’s appointment, and he’s super high-ranking in the military so I might get into a lot of trouble for it. Mandatory military service is awful - you get paid well below minimum wage to do so much work and you have to give up your freedom… and as a military clerk, I’m not even doing a combat role nor do I have to stay in camp fove days a week. I can’t imagine how horrible it must be for them.
And gosh I want my old hair back so badly. Not only is this haircut so short, it’s terribly cut and disproportionate - I’ve had such a difficult time tidying it up and I look so ugly. I’m ashamed to even leave my room.
I remember seeing the military psychiatrist this February, before my conscription date, and he told me to “give it a try”. I’ve been giving it a try, and my mental health has suffered for it. I feel worse and more suicidal than I did before I got conscripted.
