Hi Chloe, how are you doing? You sound like you are doing well. What meds do they have you on after ECT? I am assuming you are done with your ECT sessions, or are your maintenance sessions being spread out? Are you still taking lithium, doxepin, celexa, and diazepam? What do you think about Lexapro? Did you get your TSH/thyroid tests completed? [sorry for the questions!]
I am on too many meds now I think. Me and my pdoc became optimistic about treating my ADHD without cycling probs with WB but I can't hack the anxiety/agitation/insomnia from it. I think I am going to have to quit it altogether (again). I just "freeze" around people and feel panicky. I'm taking Ritalin in the afternoons, and it doesn't cause much anx. or sleep problems, but I don't feel any help in the mood department. I HAVE to have a DA and/or NE med for my seasonal depression coming up soon. I am thinking about going back on nortriptyline with Effexor (instead of WB/Ritalin), but don't know what to do.
