Hi Scott,
Yes have tried tryciclics already, actually prothiaden (I think you know it as dothiapen) was the first antidepressant I ever took when I was about 24 and it worked wonders at 75mgs.
However, when I tried it again about 3 years ago up to 300mg it didn't do anything apart from give me a seizure, it was either a seizure or I passed out not sure which but I ended up coming too at work with Paramedics around me.
This is what makes me think something has gone wrong futher down the line, all the drugs that used to work so effectively and quickly for me just don't seem to work as well anymore and there must be a reason somewhere for that.
Are you going to try Parnate again, didn't you once have a really good response on that?
Thanks for the explanation on Lithium although I do so much searching on these things and end up feeling more confused, they seem to be exploring so many different avenues and I just wonder if they're red herrings. I've read about them identifying 15 different regions on chromosones involved in depression and then somewhere else where they say they've identified 5 genes linked to it. Then you hear about possible roles of CRF, Nicotine receptors, BDNF, peptides, then I read a study where they found that People who had sever clinical depression when they died had significantly lower levels of FGFs (whatever they are).
You know when I was at school I never really took much interest in chemistry or any other subject for that matter and now I seem to spend half my time reading and trying to grasp these articles. I'm just about starting to understand the basics thanks to many people on this board, you included.
Did you go up to the highest dose on Cymbalta? sorry I seem to go on about myself for ages and then suddenly remember to ask you about yourself and what you're doing. It's called being self obsessed I suppose, although I'm not really.
Denise
