> How are you feeling now? What are you taking?
I've been in very rough waters for months now. They even put me through ECT which resulted in initial worsening, 2 days of perfect normalcy, one week of psychotic mania, 2 day suicidal emergency room crash, and its been depression ever since, varying from moderate to severe on a daily basis.
It's difficult now because almost anything I try actually makes me much worse anywhere from day 1 to day 4.
Currently:
150mg LI160 St Johns Wort (Kira)
100mg Lithium Orotate
450mg EPA/100mg DHA fish oil
1.25mg zyprexa
400mg SAMeZyprexa is down from 5mg. It was making me depressed and lots of weird antipsychoticish symptoms. The others have been in place for about 5 weeks. St Johns Wort felt worse above 300mg. SAMe is only day 3 and I'm feeling it out. On the backburner I'm thinking about Whey protein powder which has all the amino acids in it, including a good balance of tryptophan and tyrosine.
More meds are likely if SAMe doesn't work out.
