Hi Beckett,
Thanks for asking. I gave up on Emsam at three weeks @ 12mg (last Thursday). I know it deserved more time but I was not feeling any different, perhaps less weepy, and running out of time. Shouldn't have planned a meds change so close to a vacation trip. Now, I have to wait at least a week to go back on Lexapro (Serotonin Syndrome). That gives me 3 weeks before I go on vacation. Hopefully, it will kick in by then. I ditched the Saphris and went back on Abilify 5mg. I also started Lamictal (3 days) but I'm not so sure it's such a great idea. I took it once and can only recall marginal relief; maybe shouldn't rock the boat with so little time to resolve this depression.
I have just made a mess of things. Right now I'm at such a low point and afraid I won't get some relief in time. My pdoc is useless as she is out of ideas and I'm the one suggesting meds.
I do have an appointment on the 6th for a consult on deep tms. I partially responded to rtms so I'm hopeful it may bring some relief faster and before 10/26 (day I leave). Otherwise, it'll be a sorry Caribbean vacation.
I'm so tired and consumed by this illness; can't even think straight. I don't even remember how feeling well feels like.Hope you are doing well,
