Detailed Answer:
Hello

My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. You need not to worry. You are already taking pristique but as you are unable to control depression so i would suggest you to consult your treating psychiatrist and ask for change or increase in dose to make it effective. Following general care will also help you:
> Go for a daily Walk for 30-45 mins in the evening
> Eating small, well-balanced meals throughout the day will help you keep your energy up and minimize mood swings.
> Sleep has a strong effect on mood. Try to take adequate sleep of 6-7hrs
> Don't keep yourself in isolation. Try to discuss with your family & close friends. This will make you lighter.
> Psychotherapy & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT); you can discuss about this with your treating psychiatrist.


Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
