Im currently on 4 meds and have had to change them every couple years. It probablly depends on the person but I seem to get immune to most of them after so long. Also some of them cause side effects after so long. An example is I was on abilify for a few years and was fine and then started having tardive dyskinesia symptoms and had to switch to something else (zyperixa and lithium). Ive also taken meds where I would keep getting immune and had to keep increasing the dose until the dose was no longer safe and switched meds.
Ok, thanks for the info! I think it probably depends on the medication and the situation. I've been on two different SSRIs, and they never switch me unless there's a problem.
Is it normal to be depressed even on meds?
