i have Not been on any MOAI's or TCA's (which as i mentioned above i have suggested them to a couple pdocs at various times and for whatever reason was never tried on them.i guess i've been on most of the 'standard' AD's... and for some reason it seems to be the 'odd' ones that tend to help me the most. like Adderall and Gabapentin.
i have a list somewhere of the meds i've tried and i think its up to 33 now if i include the Fetzima... i think, its something like that.
Never done ECT or Lithium and they are both at the very ultimate bottom of my list. i tend to do terrible on mood stabilizers (anti-siezure).have dx of bipolar (mixed) or psychotic depression.
i have never had that 'high' of mood, it tends to go straight to agitation, irritability, then the negative intrusive thoughts which leads me to self harm or harmful behavior. then at times when severe it can lead to psychosis. i mostly have auditory illusions but can also have visual ones as well. some paranoia as well at different levels of depression.so... good luck me...
