> And...what do you do if you simply cannot tolerate meds anymore? What is left? I couldn't stand Abilify. I can't stand Seroquel. I've been on everything over the years. I don't know what I have left, other than the MAOIs. I have EMSAM left to start. I guess that's it. I don't have much hope for it though.
I tried every SSRI on the market except Luvox, both SSNRIs available at the time (Effexor XR and Cymbalta), Wellbutrin - only Parnate and Nardil have touched my depression (except the first round of Zoloft, which pooped out). Emsam (well, technically, the selegiline capsules) helped depression a bit but made me agitated and increased my anxiety.
Don't give up. Similar stories abound on this board.
