In reply to any new drugs coming? Need hope, posted by karin on October 17, 2001, at 14:50:24
Hi Karin,
I can sympathise massively with your situation. I've suffered from severe depression and anxiety with panic disorder for 7 years now and haven't found a drug that has really helped me. I've tried Effexor XR, St Johns Wort, Lustral and sertraline amongst others.Most people who I haven't told about my problems e.g. people at work, think that I'm fine but just a bit quiet. But as you eloquently put, underneath a normal exterior I am normally feeling extreme dread, terror or lowness.
I have been on Surmontil 300mg/day for several months [which has stabilised me slightly] and am 2 weeks into a concurrent course of reboxetine 8mg/day. The only thing of note so far is that I've had several day's worth of suicidal ideation. I'm sticking with it though and will endeavour to post my progress.
Best wishes,
pedr.
