> May I ask what your diagnosis is? If you react badly to standard AD's (Prozac and other SSRI's) you may have a form of Bipolar Dissorder? It is generally known now not to give Bipolar's SSRI's as they can trigger cycling - bouts of mania, hypomania and depression. Personally Prozac after 6 weeks sent me hypomanic for a good few months, (this was the way I was diagnosed as so) with a very big 'crash' afterwards. It was the second most depressive state I have had during my time of being ill.

My diagnosis....
I'm stuck with chronic fatigue syndrome and spasmophilia. In my opinion the anxiety comes from the spasmophilia.I went to a psychiatrist,the kind that doesn't believe in those kind of illnesses...,and he thought that maybe I had a bipolar with a rapid cycle.I never had any manic episode though. But he tried every moodstabilizer there is, including lithium. All for very short periodes cause they all made me feel lousy, all total lethargic or exhausted or depressed.
The symptoms that are typical for spasmophilia are the ones that describe my state of being the best.Unfortunately I haven't come across any solutions except for benzo's. About 8y ago I had a similar period and was helped alot with Clonazepam (Rivotril).It helped my anxiety feelings enormously but downside was that it killed my feelings and made me depressed.But now it hasn't even given me that effect on the anxiety.An dI don't want to feel any more depressed or without any feelings.What is the difference between Lamictal and Sulpiride as they both seem to be used as a mood enhancer.Is there a starting up period,with risk of negative side effects, or should the effect be immediate?
