Question- did you get jaundice after your gallbladder was removed?
I completely relate to you 25 years of misery and unsuccessful drug trials, that's about how long it has been for me. My latest psychiatrist has never seen someone with such paradoxical reactions to so many drugs and he is quite confused.
After my latest emsam trial, I decided I was going to just try no drugs & ect (the only thing that has really worked for me). But then I started having extreme anxiety & depersonalization out of the blue and the ect procedures were freaking me out too much.
Luckily the xanax that they gave me has really helped, I think with the mood too. 3 weeks ago I was disfunctional & in the hospital, and now I'm doing ok. They also added small doses of lamictal (3rd try, but at a low 12.5 dose), 1/2 celexa, and a 1/2 synthroid. We're keeping the doses low for know because it seems higher doses make me worse.
I've also been taking my b vitamins, and some extra zinc because after a urine test they found I have too much copper.
That's why I was wondering about your jaudice. How recently? What did they determine was the cause?
