> Over the past 10 years, I have tried every AD, category by category and suffered side effects, the rarer the more they occur. SSRI's in particular, but also those with norepinephrine effects as well. Pdoc wants me back on serzone, which I took several years ago and it was no miracle drug and now has the black box warning, or an MAOI and I am scared of the MAOI side effects and restrictions but in the depths of the worst depression in years. Dx also includes GAD and Bipolar II. Have also tried all the mood stabilizers and GABA-types make me hell on wheels. What can you tell me about your experiences, I am at the edge of the cliff and hanging on with my fingertips.
I want to try MAOIs and my pdoc won't prescribe them. I am afraid of them, too, but I am desperate. The pdoc referred me to a psychopharmacologist who wants $650 for a consult.What are "GABA types"? The pdoc wants to give me Gabatril.
