As listed on my post; Wellbutrin XL 300mg, Lexapro
30 mg,Remeron 30 mg, Restoril 30 mg and Klonopin 1 mg 3-4 times a day. The only long term benefit, as with other meds combo is the benzo which does give me relief from anxiety and allows me to pursue socail situations, but now the depression is kicking in again so bad as before, I just don't give a ....it is a struggle to go the head doctor or go pick up my meds....I look at my resume, MBA thesis and just shake my head and toss em back in a pile.......This current cocktail like the rest has just quit after about 10 months. I know many of you have been through the same thing.I typed in ECT on the website and found some interesting insights...and arguements......they sound almost exactly like comments about specific meds...some say they are life savers, other say it almost killed them, like Paxil did to me. There were some specific stories mentioned that sounded just like mine; many meds. tried, ongoing struggle, no hope, and then struggle with the decision for ECT.......to me it sounds about the same as our meds....who knows what some of these are doing to us long term....look at the ones that have been taken off the market and the new warnings....I could just imagine getting the Vegas nerve implant, which I think is pseudo permanent, then here in 3 years that it is killing people.......at this point, it seems like a shot and a beer would work better!
The old class of meds. scare me to as I have talked to the head dr. about them. The potential side effects were well as bad if not worse than the current SSRI's etc........
Maybe St. Johns Wort and.......?
