> Blueberry you never complained or mentioned this til after the ECT? Could they be connected? And not to insult you as you are brillient to me could you have forgotten when they started? Love Phillipa
Actually Phillipa this stuff started in early 2005. I never complained about it. I've been fighting it ever since and all docs want to do is raise the doses even higher. And yes, things have gotten worse after ECT.
One thing did work in 2005...Kira St Johns Wort. I took 600mg of it along with 20mg prozac and 5mg zyprexa and every symptom I have disappeared...all of it, the depression, anxiety, tardive stuff, weirdness upon waking, everything gone. It was great. The problem was I think I ran into the early stages of serotonin syndrome at about the 6 week mark and backed away quickly. As the SJW wore off, all the symptoms that had been gone started to come back again.
