it has been almost 5 years of trying reuptake inhibitor after reuptake inhibitor with zero benefit. 98% of psych meds ive tried have been like sugar pills for me. ive currently been taking adderall, which im not even sure has been beneficial at all the past few months, even after taking a break from it or trying a higher dose. and when it was helping, it was just just a very slight, but greatly appreciated benefit.
ive tried every class of todays typical "go to" meds. multiple meds in each class, as well. as well as lithium, ketamine and ECT.
anyways, i have another pdoc appointment tommorrow. and @ my laat appt with him he named 2 SSRI's (since ive tried every other one with zero effect) he'd consider if my current treatment didnt help. i just said "okay, cool" but i think thats a ridiculous idea. it seems most Pdocs feel theyve done their duty by sending you out the door with just about any of todays safer psych meds that are a bit safer than older meds. so all i can think of is asking to try an MAOI, or to just go home with no RX at all.
i mentioned at my last appt i always have a "better off dead" feeling. so maybe he would prefer to prescribe an MAOI, than for me to go home with nothing. idk the laws exactly, but he might be held liable if the worst were to happen (which i dont intend to do).
