> Kara-I remember from past posts you being very oppossed to SSRIs (which I can certainly understand!). Will you take an SSRI if the rEEG recommends it?
Gee, was it that obvious? I guess I have come across as very opposed to SSRIs. I suppose it's because I have always felt flat and apathetic on them. I think I harbor some anger at all of the time I've wasted trying one after another of them without much luck. Then after I came here, I read so many stories of people with the SSRI apathy and my anger grew.Back to your question, which was a good one. I have thought about the possibility of the rEEG showing an SSRI for me. I think that looking back, the SSRIs gave me incomplete responses. Maybe I needed a mood stabilizer and/or a stimulant and/or something else in addition to them. Maybe if I had been able to tolerate Wellbutrin, the combination would have been good and I wouldn't have such little respect for the SSRIs now. So I guess the answer to your question is that yes I would be willing to try an SSRI again but only if some other medications are recommended in combination with it. If only an SSRI is indicated for me, then I wouldn't bother and I'd have lost all respect for the rEEG process.
