Hi. Right now I'm taking Sam-e and imipramine. The thinking with the depakote was that I might be bipolar II. I've never been manic, only depressed, but my pdoc thought I had some cycling I didn't realize. Years later, another pdoc suggested that I might have some kind of sleep disorder (poor quality of sleep) and the depakote fixed my sleep. I've never had a sleep study, so I don't know if there's truth to this.
The truth about me and nardil... I had chronic fatigue syndrome at the time. I was physically weak and miserable. The nardil pulled me out of the depths but the relief didn't last. I quit it after a couple months. Ultimately I got better with prozac, but... it's a strange story. I was profoundly fatigued for about 2 and a half years and no antidepressant worked. I wound up in the hospital and they gave me prozac and slowly I got better. I can't really chalk the whole episode up to depression, though. I was a zombie for a good couple years and nothing--prozac included--helped. Go figure.
