> > tensor's post just a bit above mine has really made me think. it's made me wish that they could truly, truly come out with a new class of drugs to treat depression that worked well even in trd cases. right now i've got my Ritalin and that keeps me going, but of course it doesn't make me feel ok all the time. I still wake up feeling scared, sad, alone; just plain devastated. the only thing that gets me out of bed is the thought that i can go take my Ritalin. Makes me feel like i'm an experimental mouse heading for the cheese reward. Then there are the between times - long release products give me too much anxiety. and lastly, there are the end of day times, like now. i want to take another Ritalin soooo bad, but i know if i do, i won't sleep tonight, and i'll feel even worse tomorrow.

>OHHHHH how I loved Remeron. Took care of the depression and the anxiety in one hit. Got used to the sedation. But my friends kept saying I looked high lol. But, like them all, Remeron too turned on me. Now I get paradoxical agitation from it. And I get agitation from all the AAPs, and had frank akathisia with Zyprexa. Right now, the only combo that is keeping me alive is Ritalin plus Tegretol
