Not surprisingly, the time has come for me to change drugs again. We’re sticking with Lithium, and removing the Duloxetine, before adding an antidepressant I responded quite well to last time, Edronax (Reboxetine).

The drug free experiment didn’t work. I’m back on the antidepressants, taking sertraline. It’s unlikely to work wonderfully, as it didn’t do a whole lot last time, but it has very few side effects (for me at least) and it should hopefully support me until after my exams in 4 weeks time. At that point [...]
