In reply to Depression treatment-where to go from here?, posted by LizinManhattan on May 21, 2006, at 1:49:16
Hey there!
Have you tried St John's Wort? Its pretty good, and would probably be good for you, as I get the impression that you responded best to the MAOIs? Its acts abit like a MAOI (ie noradrenaline, sertonin and dopamine action and some GABA too) but it doesn't have any side effects. Well, maybe some very very mild ones which go away in the first couple of weeks anyway. I can't even remember what mine were! Oh it seemed to make me feel more cold (but that could have been because it was winter!) And at first my bladder felt like the size of a pea, but that soon went away.
You need a reputable brand like Kira or pernika.
Also, I wouldn't take the birth control pills. They can induce depression in some women.
I have no experience/knowledge about claritin, but maybe that might be contributing?
Kind regards,
Meri
