Scott another comment about luvox. Seems saw another pdoc here last summer that wanted a baseline and took me off luvox and put me on very high doses of benzos 6mg first of xanax long acting then when I didn't sleep at all he changed to 8mg of ativan. I only took 6mg as the dose was so high. Didn't sleep another week. Ended up in ER. ER doc called the head psch doc at the uptown hospital branch and came back and said their consultation both had decided there was something in luvox that my brain needed and was advised to go back on the luvox and low dose of valium. And low and behold sleeping again. And Deplin is a med I feel holds promise for me. According to the ER the autoimmune thyroid flutuating nature of my thyroid and chronic lymes could have some impact on that will never know. Even years ago a pdoc in another place had me on 2.5mg of paxil and 7.5mg of luvox with low dose xanax. Many drug trials undisclosed on this site. Including addition of T3. So my whole life of meds is not on this board. Nor will it ever be. So in a way I find it negative to say that luvox and deplin will not work for me . As you said psychiatry and the workings of the brain are in it's infancy. So after about l0 pdocs and many moves will stick with present meds and probably depending on what the pdoc says either add back Deplin or can it. Thanks for hearing me. Phillipa
