Ooh. Sorry. I hadn't read the whole thread. I feel a bit nervous about this situation too.Dove - How are you doing now? Seeing your name always gives me warm-fuzzies.
Are you still taking the AMI SRZ combination? I have never come across a combination of Sersone with a tricyclic. I would be interested to know more about your case to see if there is any similarity to mine in terms of symptoms and previous drug responses. I have been looking for an effective treatment for a long time.
I guess that probably sounds like I want you to write a book.
Anything would help. I need to make some treatment decisions soon.
Thanks.
