I've been an anxious depressive for 42 years. Here's what I've done/had to treat it:
ADs
amitryptiline, nortryptiline, Concordin, dothiepin, Wellbutrin, Marplan, Prozac, Paxil, Effexor, CelexaAPs
Chlorpromazine, Stelazine, pericyazine (drug from hell), ZyprexaStabilisers
LithiumBenzos
Librium (ha!), Valium, oxazepam, Ativan, Klonopin, XanaxTherapy
Reichian therapy, Gestalt therapy, guided imagery, NLP, rebirthing, hypnotherapy, Crystal therapy, Human Givens therapy, CBT, Get-your-*rse-out-of-here-and-get-a-Life therapy, allergy testing, alcohol abstinence (AA), prayer, meditation, binaural beats brainwave entrainment.Here's what's worked:
Xanax (oh and alcohol, but that doesn't count). Of course out of this long list it's only these two that doctors have tried to prevent me from taking.
I must admit to feeling bitter when I see these people with sunny smiles who've got over this "eminently treatable" disease. If my condition doesn't respond to treatment perhaps it's not an illness. But I'm in good company I think
