Dear Noa,
Thanks for caring. Wish I knew what would help. The tip you shared on splitting the Cytomel dosage makes sense - that's one I'm not even going to bug my poor overworked pDoc about. I started adding back selegiline (Eldepryl) a couple of days ago. It has been somewhat helpful in the past. Today I realized that my dose of Omega 3s has been too low because my math was off! To get the dose that was successful in the Harvard study requires 34 capsules per day of the brand I currently have - gulp. In the meantime we'll probably continue with maintenance unilateral ECT. It is not great, but is better than nothing. If I stopped it I'd go back on Lamictal. ADs with any punch cause me to switch, a major problem. At my last visit my consultant thought I should try ziprasidone as soon as it comes on the market, but so far it hasn't in the US. My next appointment with him is Oct 1st, so hopefully I can hang in there until then. My hubby thinks carefully watching my Choline (B6) intake is crucial. It all gets very tiresome. Exercise usually helps a little, but that has been a problem since spraining my ankle about three weeks ago. Thanks for asking. It helps me to think through what I am trying to do to get better.
It is so good to hear you feeling better.Best,
Chris A.
