i believe you're referring to cyproheptadine when talking about my "strange idea"? i think you'd have to be since that is the only medicine that has ever helped me. you know it does share 5ht2c antagonism with prozac, right?
maybe you are right, maybe we should ignore anything that isn't labeled by the FDA as a medication that can be used to treat mood disorders, no matter how much sense it makes that it could have a benefit on someone. i'm just doing what everyone does and trying to follow a lead. when someone finds out one kind of medication helps somewhat, they try another medicine that might have the same end effect. it is weird how this is strange to some people.
i've been told by a few "medical professionals" that i am strange for thinking cyproheptadine helped me. and for thinking i have longterm effects from medication. but my doctor i see now listens to me. and she finally said something that makes sense. when someone has had a brain infection (encephalitis) that resulted in a coma, this can change the brain and make it very upredictable as to how their brain is going to respond to medication. for this same reason i am not allowed in many clinical trials.
why dont you keep your strange thoughts to yourself.
