Ever since beginning my rTMS treatments, I cannot restart any antidepressant. When I do, I get moderate-full blown serotonin snydrome.
I feel very anxious, freezing cold chills, (flu like symptoms), severe diarrea, hypotention on Celexa (but hypertention on Parnate)
The only thing I can (and do take) is a small dose (600mg of Lithium).
I feel fine. The main reason I started parnate, which I had full blown Ser Syndrome, and later Celexa, was because my psychiatrist thought my device was bunk and that I would relapse.
I have become more social, I sleep fine, and reasonably enjoying life. I have never had such a severe reaction to antidepressants before, I alwasy tolerated them fine.
The only explaination I have is that the rTMS has some significant serotogenic effects. I am bewildered in some respects, because the world looks so very different since I started the rTMS.
I will take it a day at a time, and hope that things continue to work.
