Hi everyone,
Thank you for your messages.These are the medications i have tried so far:
Citalopram 3 months at i think 20 mg od.
Venlafaxine 225 mg 2 years
mirtazapine 15 mg 4 weeks
Fluoextine 20 mg 4 weeks
escitalopram 10 mg 6 weeks with lamotrigine 100 mg
nardil 15 mg tds and parnate 10 mg tds both only 2 weeks
I hope i have the information right from what i can remember.
I have to say that none of the medication did anything for me.
Nardil and parnate made me depression worse. Felt as if i had lost the ability to speak. The worse part was the hot and cold shivers. Im a cold person anyway and it was horrible.
I read from a post by anita that the temperature effects for her never went away even after 2 years of taking the medication. Not sure if it an amphetamine type reaction.
Anyway, hope you can help me. I am going to see a new psych in london next wed and see what he recommends.
I think may be SSRI's are useless for me. May augmented with olanzapine or other antipsycotic may help.
