Roo,
What AD's have you tried?
I think the Resperidone is starting to work. When it didn't make me 'high' at first, I thought it would work. Depakote made me stoned for a few days, then after a two weeks, I turned into a she-devil. I was so evil. I am on Wellabutrin 150 ER, anyway, we had also tried Lamictal, Topomax: with rashes, dumbness, and numbness, I stopped those right away. We dropped Prozac, had been on that for a long time.
I having some break through emotions, I cried a few times last week, I am feeling more stable, yet, I am not laying all my hopes on this one tho.
But, I think it might be worth a shot.
Side effects so far have been:
day 2: my left arm was moving on its own while the rest of me was asleep!
day3: lots of salviation and licking my lips
day4: extrmeme muscle tension
at this point I called the pdoc, she was surprised that I was experiencing the s/e at .33, but I am very sensitive, as I think a lot of cyclo's are. She recommended benedryl. I have been taking a teaspoon in the morning and evening and that is working for me.
Other than that, I feel like I want to move a bit more. Which is good, cause the depakote killed my metabolism.
I can think.
I can function.
I can reason.
I can carry on a conversation--and the family is laughing at my jokes again.
downfall: lost sex drive: but think that might have been pms.....!
write me if you'd like to talk further: I am in Germany, my husband is in the army, not many ppl I can discuss these issues with!
