Ace,
Here are some. Please check w/ your p.doc, though, w/ any of the online 'suggestions'. [standard disclaimer]
Off the top of my head:
1. Risperdal (risperidone) - probably low amounts, .5 to 2 mg/day (I think I took up to 1mg a day, but didn't give it a fair trial to work on 'ocd' type stuff. I may have had a placebo response, but not certain)2. Zyprexa (olanzapine?)- as far as I know, it's OK; haven't tried it
3. Klonopin (clonazepam) - a benzo, watch for sedation and potential addiction. Start real low, like 1/4 of .50 mg. [Also, all benzos]
4. Lithium (I believe I took up to 1200 mg/day eons ago, for six months. Caused some skin problems, went off, didn't see a 'worsening' of symptoms after going off; but it did cause weight gain, which, at the time, I loved.) Blood levels need to be checked for this, and thyroid functions; perhaps liver too.
5. Tegretol (monitor blood levels/liver also)
6. Cytomel (a thyroid hormone, synthetic? - used to potentiate MAO-Is and other A.D.s)
-----------------------------------------
***7. Stimulants - risky territory. Had a doc. who was willing to consider that in the late '80s, but I declined. The PDR (Pharmaceutical Desk Reference manual) will probably list it as contraindicated. Only use with EXTREME CAUTION!***8. TCAs: tricyclic anti-depressants. Same as above.
That's it for now. Good luck!
