Welcome! :o)

You've come to the right place. I like your name, by the way. I sense you and Declan will get along very well!

Um, well I'm not much help I'm afraid with regard to meds. I lost faith in docs to treat my depression etc a long time ago. I think everyone here gets frustrated with their docs at times. Its a difficult situation.

Some tips:

Take aload of material to docs appointments. If you wanna try prozac, then take along a bunch of scientific articles to your appointment which 'proves' that prozac is approprite in your condidion. Read up on the drugs themselves and how they react in the brain. It takes convincing a doc to get them to prescribe you something you wanna try. Search for stuff on pubmed:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?DB=pubmed

and another one called 'biopyschiatry'. (google it and I've spelt it wrong too!).

Well, zyprexa is know for its weight gain. It doesn't sound like much fun.

I'm sure some other, more appropriate, people will comment -- if you could say what your condition is and what you've tried?

Kind regards

Meri
