You sound like my mother.

I'm already stopping the Rilutek and Ixel (for now).

New treatment strategy is, in order of priority:
Nortriptyline
Parnate (parnate alone was already tried, at up to 100mg, a few mos ago. partial response)
Geodon (i'm at 120mg right now which I think might be too high of a dose, and given that i'm not seeing remission, i'm not sure whether i should even stay on this)
Lithobid (i think EVERYONE should be on low dose lithium 300-600mg)
Namenda (taking right now as i'm in the middle of ECT...will probably go down to 10mg for hte long term...supposed to help with poop-out right?)
Deplin
Agomelatine (maxed this out at 50mg for a few weeks...didn't see remission...it's not the miracle drug people have been making it out to be, so I may just dump it. however it does seem to be pretty clean and have low side effect profile and is sleep-enhancing, so i'm not sure how much it's really HURTING)
SOmething for sleep (either trazadone, low dose seroquel, or lunesta)


depending on how all that goes...maybe add in selegiline and thyroid if necessary.

GOd damnit F it all. i'm so sick of this sh*t. i feel like this has become my primary hobby...f*cking amateur psychopharmacology...how sad. :(
