Laima,
It all just tells me there is no formula for figuring this stuff out. So much of what works is one doctor's suggestion and you willingtotry something,which I usually am as long as it's at tiny doses. I did resist when my psoc suggested the antipsychotics initially, but I eventually tried Risperdal, Zyprexa and seroquel. I thought if I took an AP, it meant I had psychosis, even though he said it had worked for some of his pts with TRD. Never felt they did much of anything though.
The effects of Emsam 6 mg are starting to fade so I'm wondering what to do next. My pdoc is away until 1/2/07 so I'll prob have to wait until then. It's not like with pills how you can just increase the dose on your own if you think you need a higher dose. That was something that I felt I could always do before seeing my pdoc. He trusted me to do that and I trusted myself to do it.
I have Adderall left but I don't think I should experiment with adding that, besides it's the 20 mg capsules, so I guess I'll wait to ask him about that. He may just want me to increase from 6 to 9 mg Emsam. Perhaps I'm just having a tired, sluggish couple of days, you can't feel good everyday, can you?
Do people that aren't depressed have mostly good, productive days or do they struggle with bad days on and off?
