of the abyss. When I saw the shrink, she suggested dropping the Zoloft (which had done nothing) and substituting mirtazapine. I'm now taking 45mg at night and it has done very little (sleeping a bit better because of the antihistamine drowsiness, but the anxiety is the same) and I feel like I'm starting to lose my grip. Performance at work has suffered, and I'm starting to get agrophobic about going to work.
My doc wants to take a softly softly approach, but I am getting desperate and need relief now.
Nardil seems to be the drug of last resort for me, because 1. MAOI's are the only drugs I haven't tried and 2. it has an effect on GABA as well as its antidepressant actions.
I decided after some thought that as I was in danger of losing all the gains I had made over the past 3 years and reverting to my previous state, so I took a decision that might be considered rash or even stupid and obtained a months worth of Nardil from a safe grey market source. I'm starting to wind back to mirtazapine so that when the Nardil arrives in the post I can get right on it.
Current meds are
Edronax 4mg bd
Xanax 1mg tid
Mirtazapine 45mg qhs
Risperidone 1mg qhs
I plan on this becomingEdronax 4mg bd
Nardil 30mg bd
Xanax 1mg tid
Risperidone 1mg qhsI have the MAIO diet printed out and am fully aware of the drugs I have to avoid.
Wish me luck!
