> What is your "current" diagnosis and what meds are you taking nowadays?
Current diagnoses:
- Chronic Recalcitrant Endogenous Major Depression
- Maladaptive Personality Disorder in remission with medication
- SubClinical HypoThyroidism
- Seizure Disorder in remission
- Essential Hypertension (controlled by Nardil)
- Chronic Allergies
- Note: My Cholesterol problems are also controlled by NardilCurrent AD meds:
Nardil 120 mg/day
Metadate ER 60 mg/day
Trazadone 150 mg/dayOver the last 25+ years I have tried almost all the
antidepressents and mood stabilizers available, and
Nardil is the only AD that has worked for me that is
still on the market. Meritol worked well for the
4 months I was on it before it was pulled off the
market. There was one suicide attempt in my late
teens which I barely survived (the organ donor
papers had already been prepared and signed).
I have not had any suicidal thoughts since being
saved in Christ in 1996. The Lord has blessed
me immensely and has made it possible for me to
continue working. It's been almost two years
since my doctor told me to prepare for permanent
disability.Partial list of medications which
do not work for me:
- Celexa
- Cylert
- Effexor XR
- Elavil
- Lithium
- Parnate
- Prozac
- Tofranil
- Vivactil
- WelbutrinSleep aids which
do not work for me:
- Ambien
- SonataAnti Anxiety meds no longer needed
after starting Nardil:
- Tranxene
- Trilafon
- ValiumA few treatments which did not work for me:
- Acupuncture
- Behavior Modification Therapy
- ECT
- Psychoanalysis
- Psychotherapy---------------
