I want a docter who will tell me we will keep on trying until we find something that works, not somebody who throws their hands up in the air and says they've done all they can.I see your point about having hope, Denise.
But I am a realist and am older then most here and I dont need a doctor for hope as I have supplied my own using my body and brain as an experiment in subduing my adhedonia.
Too, I have had some very bad run-ins with doctors in the past, as they seem to think a college degree and eight years of medical school gives them some right to treat me as an imbecile or as a lesser being then they are, simply becuase I am ill with a sickness they cant treat.
All I can say to all the medico's who act this way is "Wrong thinking, doc!" :-D
Perhaps my reseach in using off-lable, non-standard treatment will be picked up by Dr Bob or another phyician someday and doctors will have a better handle on this illness and how to vanquish it for good.
Mannerix is technically called a RIMA (Reverible Inhibitor of Monoamine oxidase and it primarily effects the Monoamine Oxidase type A, and not much on type B, the one that effects Dopamine
but still it does have an Dopamine leveling quality that is noticable.Unlike Nardil or Parnate, it does not inhibit both A and B equally, but then its safer as it does not cause the dreaded high-blood pressure "cheese effect'" either.
Its only an matter of time before there are more such medicines in the pipeline with any luck.
In fact, Mannerix does have a similar sister medication already, but it is not available anywhere that I can find it, outside of a laboratory.
