In reply to Topamax: Crying Jags/Suicidal Thoughts, posted by Elzabeth on September 2, 2001, at 18:01:24

It's been 3+ years. I've been on Zoloft, Effexor, Remeron, lithium, Wellbutrin, Neurontin, Celexa, Serzone and the occasional Ativan in different combos. Diagnosed with chronic refractory depression. Nothing has worked completely.

Currently on Wellbutrin and Serzone. I have had a couple of crying jags since getting on Serzone, but they have gone away. I heard somewhere, but cannot tell you where, that this can happen several weeks or months after starting Serzone. I have found the Wellbutrin/Serzone combo helpful but not completely effective. Am on 300mg of each per day. I think my pdoc is going to raise one of them tomorrow. I still have that dead feeling -- not reacting to things, not caring... I would not take a drug holiday knowing how suicidal I was in January of '98 without drugs. So far I have avoided MAOIs, although my doctor has brought them up. I am deathly afraid of the 2-week washout and then the weeks of building up again. May have to go that route, though, if this stuff continues not to really work.

Good luck.
