Sounds like great meds. I’ve tried the other kind.
Gained weight, lost energy, lost desire, lost erections, lost interests
That was probably the most beautiful response I’ve ever gotten here and I’ve been here a very long time. Thank you so much. It’s nice to know there are good and wonderful people here.
Just hang on, time will make this pass.

I know this but I’m wondering what coping methods other people use.
I would say that for me, it is to try more to see it before coping is required...and nip it in the bud. That darkness has a well known 'smell'—a feeling that is just the first step down into the basement. It is in these first inklings of darkness that it is the easiest to squelch it.
This is the time to get outside, or work up a sweat for me. If I sit and wait, it will just get worse and harder to shake off.
PS: Philos, that was the kindest thank you I have ever received. I guess I just want to say; thank you for the thank you!
You two want we should find you a room or something?
That would be great. Big group hug

Hugs are always a wonderful thing. I sometimes think that many of modern society's ills have their root in not enough hug/skin time.
Hope you are feeling better soon.
Coping Methods:
Hugs are great, so are smiles.
When I am down, I have to stop trying to wish it away or push it away, and just feel it, and let myself know its ok to feel like this.
Calling someone, a friend, aquaintance, family. Just hearing someone else's voice can be helpful.
Keep a journal and write down your mood and thoughts. If they are alarming, try to justify them.
Try something new, this has always worked for me. Just when you think you can't, you can.
Exercise, (honestly getting my blood rate up is like a natural high) nature, doing something fun, and doing what you are doing now.
These are what helped me over the years.
I always remind myself that everything starts with a single step, so if I find myself ruminating over something get up and start moving.
I hope you are feeling better too
I know this but I’m wondering what coping methods other people use.
This is all good, but the part about; "...finding myself ruminating over something get up and start moving." is great ! It's the how-to of nipping the depression in the bud. It takes discipline, but you showed the sequence beautifully.
At times not much seems to work - hope all is well with you
I am doing better and appreciated all the well wishes and support but I’m still curious how others cope. I’m going to the gym more often and saw a therapist yesterday. Just making the appointment helped.
