Hi Scott,
Sorry I won't drag this out for too long. Thanks for your responses. It's good that you actually responded to both the MAOI and the tryciclic even just for a short while, so the two together produce a complete remission then?? What do you class as a partial response?
I'm confused about how antagonising 5HT2A receptors would potentiate NE Transmission bout would like to understand can you explain??
Also, I've already tried adding Buspar to Seroxat and it didn't work, in what way would you think Agomelatine might be more effective? I don't understand what you mean about the DA Antagonisim???
Why is death illogical. I mean I understand in the sense that the aim is to feel better and killing myself is not going to achieve this :-) but to me sometimes it seems the most logical thing to do. I'm not enjoying anything, not looking forward to anything, can't get motivated and feel constantly anxious and I don't even know why.
When I first came to this board (when my depression and anxiety came back to greet me like a long lost enemy) in 2001 IF was feeling suicidal then for two years. What kept me going for the first two years was a) the fact that I had a good job that I wanted to hang on to, b) this board and the people on it and the fact that there was so many drugs I hadn't yet tried and c) I had Zyprexa for when the anxiety became too bad.
Now I'm 8 years down the road, I no longer have the good job to hang on to and to distract me, The SSRIs seemed to have completely pooped out on me as for the first time in a long time I'm feeling suicidal on them which worries me greatly, the Zyprexa is only helping with the anxiety and not really the suicidal thoughts anymore and I have tried most of the different drugs out there to no avail.
I know that you have had a long struggle with this illness so can you give me some advise on how I can actively fight this thing and not give up. I am feeling a lot less hopeful than I did 8 years ago. I'm desperate for somebody to tell me that there is still hope (might sound melodramatic) and that there are still things I can try.
I've been feeling sucidial every day for months and I don't know why. I was trying to figure out what actually changed since last November when the lexapro ceased to work anymore and what has changed is I have less motivation. I feel very apathetic about everything almost as if I'm preparing to die. It's horrible and I'm scared.
