      never really got depression that bad to be honest apart from when I was upping my Sertraline dose the main thing for me was trying to stay positive not easy but it got me thru the bad times when you understand what's happening and why you get a better understanding of it so I just keep telling myself positive thinking positive actions positive rewards may sound a bit mad but it works for me

    Be careful about mixing antidepressants. Check an interaction site. Not all play well together. It can be done but use caution. Good luck.
