I really dont want to be improved for the worse anymore by Psychiatry. I will restrain from pushing for changes. Especially changes toward taking more or new meds. That has led me into this anno 2010 rollercoaster of states of mind in the first place. I will, for the most part let the doctor do his job. I really dont want to stay in the hospital forever.
It remains to be seen if the 30mg of Parnate do or do not help me. I have serious doubts. It puts me in a fight or flight state of mind, way too alert and it seems to tend to put me into this extreme "im enlightened and have to save the world yesterday" state of mind. Which is really painful really.
Seroquel at 300 mgs keeps me out of undesirable states of mind and doesnt destabilize me, at least it either without antidepressants or with Effexor. So far. Dont like the Effexor too much. Id like to c*m when i have sex, more than one time a day if i want to.
It currently does not seem to be enough together with Parnate, but without it, it is.Of course no one, including myself, wants to hand me over to depression without any protection at all.
I think it may be a good idea for me to look, aside from the Seroquel that does help me, for mild alternative things to improve my state of mind and outlook. I know that Tryptophan is available here in the pharmacys. I know that in this hospital, they also sometimes use St Johns Wort although i would prefer either 5-htp or tryptophan.
I do not like the fact that Ssri type drugs kill my enjoyment in sex. I prefer substances that raise Serotonin throughout the body and the brain rather than changing neurotransmission like Ssri do.
I do not want to take an antidepressant that forces me to take anti-manics and/or higher doses of antipsychotics. To me, thats changing things for the worse.
I see that Tryptophan helps mild to medium depression and i know that there are no side effects to speak of really. I know that non-dopaminergic/adrenergic substances havent destabilized or psychoticized me in the past.
I would like to take the Seroquel/Seroquel prolong along with Tryptophan. I will ask my doctor what he thinks.
Fortunately or unfortunately, however you may see it, i get 10mg of Zyprexa tonight. But if Parnate (and it looks like it does) forces me to take more antipsychotics, then im not interested.
