Hi,
Just wanted to say don't be scared of the old meds, especially not the tricyclics. The first ever antidepressant I took was a tricyclic and I had absolutely no side affects on it at all. I then went on later to take SSRIs and if anything I had more side affects on them although they did work wonderfully (back then).
As for the MAOI I've taken Nardil this time around and although I did have bad (mental) side affects on them, I didn't really have any phsyical side affects.
I like you keep deliberating about and reading up on ECT and the more you read the more you confused you get as you get such mixed messages. The thing is my psychiatrist won't let me have it anyway, I wish he would because I might give it a try.
I have to say I have found help with antipsychychotics, Zyprexa does help my mood at times but I only take it when I'm desperate.
Kind regards.....Denise
