I have tried ECT at two different hospitals, no help.
Even when I used to work, I would go to bed at 3-5 am because I was too wired to sleep, but I was a software engineer, so I sat down all day :)
I'm so depressed lately, I can't even budge from bed, let alone work out. I have got a workout in here and there, but that's it. I would like to do more. I do have a crossbow (like a bowflex) and treadmill, but even when I'm having a good day, like yesterday, I can't get myself on them.
Problem with working out is that Nardil makes me overhead terribly, basically, it breaks down your bodies ability to cool itself, so if I do 20 mins on the treadmill, I sweat (even with cold/warm shower) for the next 1-2 hours, it's horrible.
I can't mix much with Nardil so that's rough too. Nothing but an maoi made a dent on my depression.
I don't know what to do. Like right now? My head is ready to hit the keyboard I'm so exhausted and I'm still overweight from 3 different meds I've tried. This atypical antipsychotics are awful that way, plus the dyskinesia. At least a few made my depression better though. Saphris is a new AA. Big wieght gainer, or is that Fanapt. I forget. It's in my list.
I just don't have the will to go on anymore. 15-20 battle and the depression keeps getting worse. The mania got better though, to a degree.
