No, not feeling better :) It seems like when I'm really busy, often because I'm feeling better, I am so busy that I have no time for myself, and miss out coming back to this site. Then usually when you see me back here, it means I've dropped a million miles. Unfortunately, as I feared so much, I am back here. My current p-doc doesn't want me to start on any new antidepressants until I see another endocrinologist in case I need something for my hormones, although I've seen 3 other endos. I basically begged her to start something new in the meantime, since her endo couldn't see me for a month.
I had so much of my own leftover stuff, I went ahead and tried elavil, and found out why I am not taking that anymore. I have such a frantic, awful, scary panic attack. I tried effexor and felt seriously cranky. I did better on SNRIs and remeron, but taking them together made me too edgy. My last pdoc who was the best but is traveling the world, told me I seriously need more dopamine, and have a very sensitive system, and unfortunately whatever I try other than immediate release dexedrine, I have anxiety attacks. Why it works as well as it does, and nothing else does (especially the long lasting ones???!!!) I have no clue whatsoever. Does anyone have any thoughts on why? I took a bunch of benzos to calm myself down, and am going to either restart my remeron or pristiq, but never again take the elavil, that was terrifying. Dexedrine has already taken the edge off, and I have no idea why. I wouldn't be on here if I hadn't taken it. I wish I could find a longer lasting one, but my new pdoc told me that long lasting spansules would make me anxious if the vyvanse and adderall ER did too. Why does it work so differently? Maybe I post this somewhere else under a different heading! I'm so lost!!!
