Since I was a naughty boy (not once, but twice!) I have been thinking seriously about my situation.
This is my progress report Copyright 2003 Mr. Ace Nardil!
1. Nardil 90mg is still working. For depression it is the ULTIMATE - absolutely breathtaking. However, since I have returned to university the phobic anxiety/derealization has been more pronounced. No, Nardil hasn't pooped out, I AM SIMPLY BEING FORCED INTO MORE PHOBIC SITUATIONS WHERE THE ANXIETY IS MORE PRONOUNCED. In the holidays Nardil was working a treat for anxiety - BUT IT WAS BY MY TIMETABLE.
Please don't misunderstand me, The Nardil is still working good for the anxiety - it's just some part of the day (instead of whole day) I'm feeling the dreaded Phobic anxiety/derealization.OK - Nardil still working better than the Zoloft ever did for OCD. But once again we are only talking 40-50-60% relief. Not good enough. Period.
2. This is the big suprise. From my earlier posts you would have remembered I started Lithium. Well I'm still on it. Now 1250mg just shy of 4 weeks. Guess what? It sux. It has done NOTHING - I have barely even had any s/effects. This is the crazy point - 3 plasma tests on 250mg, 500mg, 750mg have all recieved .2 results!!! I think 1250mg will be .2. I guess i'm just not suited to it.
Anyhow, I'm going to be throwing Lithium's fat ass out the door soon if this continues.I've got more options & questions. I'm scared this email will bore the tits off people but please comment or offer advice. More posts are coming!....I LOVE BEING BACK!!!!!!
