Chad,
I'm curious did you used to go by the id of "Old School"?
To answer your question, SSRIs used to work really well for me as did tryciclics but third time round they just won't seem to work no matter what we add to it, tried small doses of lamictal and lithium. I have asked my doctor about MAOIs and he said that they won't work for my type of depression (I don't suffer from atypical depression).
I've also asked him about adding a stimulant and he won't let me try it, I did try adding Adrafinil which I mail ordered but this didn't seem to do much.
I've even asked two Psychiatrists and my Doctor about ECT I feel that desperate but they say its too drastic and that it probably wouldn't help my type of depression anyway.
Can I ask you, you seem very much against antipsychotic drugs, what experiences have you had with them personally, what did you take, how much did you take, for how long and what were the side effects?
Thanks for responding.
Denise
