> Ilene, I wish I could go on Prozac without anything else; are you able to go on an antidepressant without a mood stabilizer?
>No meds have worked for me for a long time in any of the combos I've tried. I had success a long time ago with desipramine and with Prozac, but they both pooped out. I can't remember all the meds I've tried. I'm doing a little better on a higher dose of Prozac, but it's only marginally better, and it could be due to changes I've made in my personal life or just the natural fluctuation in the disease. "Better" meaning I don't want to kill myself, but neither am I enjoying life. I'll be going to a new pdoc in a month; maybe she will have some new ideas.
ECT didn't do anything for me either, except take away a lot of memory.
I.
