Scott, I forgot I tried Effexor also, not good. Anything messing with Serotonin (not sure which subtypes) has lit me up like a firework.
Scott>It might be counterproductive to attempt to judge the utility of a drug so early in a trial.
Yeah, the imipramine might have helped. I have to remain functional. I've read that when you get an early positive it's a good sign. I might attempt again or with something similar.
Phillipa>Just to be sure your doc has checked you thyroid as it's also a cause of chronic fatique
Phillipa, been there done that. Also tried many thyroid supps, most recently high dose iodine...everything ends up raising my herx level.
bleauberry - I've been through the CFS gamut and waiting for something to work (Candida, mercury, lyme, thyroid, adrenal, etc.) I just started the SCD diet in desparation. Raised my herx level but I'm hopeful. I've had plenty of GI issues and would not surprise me if this is the source of my problem.
Thanks for the info on Naltrexone. Sounds like it's work a try. Can I just get regular dosage pills and crush them? Usually depends on how standardized the tablets are.
I've tried DLPA and the supplement route. Some things help and others not. Nothing helps regularly unfortunately.
If you don't already know about this site have a look. It's probably the best lyme treatment site I've seen: http://lymemd.blogspot.com/2009/10/thoughts-on-psych-drugs-for-lyme.html. He mentions Ritalin is his fav.
I was on Doxy and Zith for a couple months. My liver had enough. Didn't graduate to the Tinazadole.
