I had to switch meds because I was feeling down, I couldn't escape those feelings I was having now I have a better lookout and it feels nice to not have those emotions

That is great your doing better. Sometimes I get to the point where I can not escape things so I write my feelings down on paper and go back to it when my mind is clear and work on what I was feeling at the time and make pointers on how I can get out of them if I ever have those feelings again

Try to see if you can go to a federal medical clinic and get a regular doctor to give you a prescription for fluoxetine. I lost my Medicaid and I now pay for meds out of pocket it's about $20 a month. There are lots of generic meds that you can try that don't cost a lot. I lost access to my ADHD meds because those require monthly visits with a psychiatrist but a general doctor can prescribe depression meds.

What did you switch from and to? I've been on fluoxetine for a while. It keeps me from being angry all the time but I'm still depressed.
