Link,
I hate to hear how much you are suffering. You are always so kind and helpful to others on the board, and it breaks my heart that you are not finding any relief.
When do you next see your pdoc? Have you got a list of alternative meds ready to discuss with him/her? Perhaps you and your pdoc should be considering a TCA. If I am remembering correctly, you had been thinking about asking for a TCA a little while ago. Perhaps a TCA and a new mood stabilizer (Lamictal? which I think also has some AD properties) would provide better relief and be more effective.
On another note, do you plan to return to school next semester (January) or will you be waiting until the new school year in the fall?
Hang in there Link. I will be thinking about you.
Take care.
Tamara
> Crazychick, I don't mean to sound disrespecfull, but I am very suicidal at the moment. Although I am suffering horrable side effects I don't wish on anybody, I can't just taper off. Thats what put me in the hospital for a 3 weeks with even worse suicidal thoughts and impulses.
