> the insomnia is just too much for me, i feel like i'm on the verge of losing it. Dr Golberg said in his opinion tolerance doesn't really grow to it.I'm really glad he responded so quickly and even though it may not be what you would have wanted to hear, at least you know one way or another.
> he also said he *never* uses AP's unless psychotic symptoms are present (my pdoc is pushing risperdal, despite my worries about TD)
It makes perfect sense! I know AP's are useful in depression etc but the risk of TD is not one to be taken lightly.
I took Geodon just to show my sister and family that infact I HAD given in a last shot and tried what the doctor suggested so I wasn't bothered about the TD. I never thought it would work anyway and I had short term plans. Off topic though, once I took it I realized that I did have alot of psychotic symptoms. But for now I am happy to stick to AD's and be slightly out of touch with the real world because TD is indeed terrifying!

> oh well, thankfully we're moving overseas to a bigger city centre soon where my Uncle is a hospital MD, so i think i'll just hold off for better treatmentI really hope you find the right med combination and a good pdoc with some ideas up his sleeve. This search for 'normalacy' is so exhausting and disheartening at times.......
Well I hope you keep your spirits up till then. Wishing you lots of luck
Love
