Suggest Treatment For Depression And Anxiety Despite Taking Lithium
I am depressed and/or anxious every other day. I have tried several SSRIs (all gave me headaches and I did not get to the therapeutic dose). Buspar had not effect. Lithium resulted in red welts on my face and body. Cognitive Behavior Therapy does not seem to be producing any results. I am at a loss as to what to do.

in my opinion it is necessary to start on noradrenergic specific antidepressants like mirtazapine
though it has some side effects like increased appetite, weight gain
managing a good diet is useful
20 minute exercise everyday is also beneficial
