> Hi Blah.. I was wondering how you were doing. It sounds as though Nardil may be more effective than the other AD's you were taking previously. I hope you get less depressed and have more energy on it- be sure to keep us informed.

> PfinsteggI stopped taking Nardil. All it did was dull my mind the same way it dulled my penis, and left me with just emptieness. I've done Research, and am going to my pdoc today with it. I'm telling her that it is either a STRONG benzo (not klonopin), or even more nessesary an opiate analgisic (like buprenorphine which has done well in studies:
http://balder.prohosting.com/~adhpage/bupe.htmlMy therapist agrees with this aproch. Obviously, conventional drugs DO NOT WORK FOR ME, and both my pdoc and my therapist dought ECT would considering my symtems, and as many on this board have pointed out from personal expirience ECT is hardly "safe." My main problem is emotional and somatic pain, and has been as long as I can remember. The only solution now is a pain reliever. My pdoc is warry of drugs that carry "dependance" even though I am obviously a candidate, and have never had a drug problem (I didn't do anything till I was 24 including alcohol and cigarets, and all I do now is have the OCCASIONAL joint. I have never done cocain or heroin, and yet she still treats me like a junkie). Also, lets be honest: ssris and snris carry dependence too. I had much more withdrawl from ADs than from stimulants (marajiuana has no withdrawl at all). If my pdoc is not willing to take a chance with harder drugs I will either get a new pdoc or just get rx opiates through an internet site. I've just F---in' had it with this crap.
