Hi! I was diagnosed with clinical depression about two or three weeks ago

3. That's a very familiar story to me...

Some of the meds I've been on have suppressed my libido entirely and the only reason I continued to take them was that the alternative was worse...

Another trouble is how long it takes to see results when changing meds; three weeks isn't nearly enough.

And then there's the meds that gradually stop working but make you feel crappy when you slowly (under a doctor's supervision) taper off them.

I've quit meds without doctors supervision too. Don't do that.

People's responses to meds differ. One of my brothers seems to have very similar symptoms to my own -- depression, OCD, etc. Meds that I've found helpful have made him miserable, and vice versa. Wellbutrin is on that list. I won't say which way so as not to prejudice you. It could work for you!

I hope you have someone you trust who can give you some feedback about your own mental state. In my own experience the ability to judge my own mental state is the first thing that flies out the window. From my personal perspective it's always the world that's changing around me, not the state of my own mind. Well, sometimes it IS the world that's increasingly suckage, but often as not it's just in my head.
