> First of all thank all of you for your support over the last four years of my life. These last four years have been extremely difficult. I have been on over twenty different medications without any relief. However, with patience, my hunt for a medication that makes me feel normal and happy has finally arrived. Ondansetron a 5ht antagonist has made a huge difference in my life. The fog has started to lift and this med is allowing me to get back on track with my life. I know that so many of you feel trapped in your current situation. Please Pleas Please, from what I have learned, trust yourself and if a medication does not work, switch medications and do not keep on taking a med b/c your pdoc insists that it will help your in the future. Believe me your will know when a med is making a difference in your life. Also, do not take this the wrong way; I am not fully cured from my anxious situation, but a for the first time in years I feel that I am taking tremendous strides with ondansetron. If any of you have questions please post a reply, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

>Ryan,
How much and how often do you take it? How much is it costing you (I know it is expensive out the yin-yang). I asked a question about it some time back. I was interested in how adding it to an SSRI would reverse the GI upset that accompanies SSRI use (reflux, diarrhea, nausea, etc.). Can you be more specific in how it affects you, and what types of meds you have taken previously and for what diagnosis?
thanks,
Mitch
