well part of my problem is I cant mix drugs up. Of course, I dont know if I will be able to mix drugs with the older drugs like the TCAs and MAOIs yet cause I have not been on them. But EVERY time I have mixed meds before, I actually got worse. MUCH worse. I have tried mixing the following. Remeron with Zoloft, Remeron with Wellbutrin SR, Effexor XR with Wellbutrin SR, Effexor XR with lithium(lithobid). Every time I mix a med, what little antidepressant response I was getting from the first one if blocked and I get even more depressed...EVERY TIME. I am so sick of this crap. I would love to mix meds if it would work for me,would do it in a heartbeat if it would work. But it doesnt. Yeah, I have heard about the TCA plus SSRI combo plus the TCA plus MAOI combo(wow) but I have yet to try it. I have great hope for the TCAs and the MAOIs. I will be trying Pamelor very soon.
I really am quite cracked up though....like stircrazy in a Chevy Chase movie. Part of me wants to cry, part of me doesnt give a shit anymore and part of me wants to give a sick laugh. Sometimes I have even wondered if all the trauma I have experienced from being told bogus things by a few of my prior psychiatrists has caused me to develop a form of PTSD or something. Some of my shrinks have scared me to death in the past. Not now but in the past they have.
