Thankyou all for your kind words. Isn't it so true that a certain med. is heaven for one, and hell for another??
I certainly enjoy and appreciate reading through the threads, keeping in mind that some comments may contain negative results, which is understandable.The best I've felt in 22 years is when I switched from zoloft 100mg to 37.5mg efferxor the next day.
It's hard to explain the feeling, it lasted for approx. 24 hrs and was like floating on a cloud. I was so content with life and praying the feeling would not end.
But... there we go again. I've often wondered if I could duplicate that feeeling by combining the 2 meds?
I mentioned it to my pdoc at the time and he seemed to brush it of as coincidental... not wanting to entertain that avenue.I've been seeing my pdoc for about 15 years, he's actuallt a great guy and verry open-minded.
I remember him telling me psychiatry is the least understood practice and is quite certain what's known to date is probably 1% of what could be known.
The 3 chemicals we try so hard to regulate, with all there receptors, is just a fraction of what needs to be regulated.
Thats why, personally, if I can have one good day, I take it and run like there's no tomorrow.Another thought I quite often have is, if and when there is a true discovery that can successfully diagnose and treat mental illness, a person very much like one of us will play a large part in it? :)
Once again, thanks all for your input. I'll let you know how the cymbalta goes although I'm not scheduled to see him for another 3 weeks.
Regards, Rick
