Hi,
I really feel like I'm at loggerheads with my current psychiatrist and I just want somebody else's view on this because sometimes I hate him, sometimes I feel sheer frustration, sometimes I feel sorry for him
In some ways I feel sorry for him because I can be very dificult and argumentative but then If I was feeling ok I know I wouldn't be like that.
He's very nice and caring but like my mum says I always go along to see him with ideas in my head about what I want to take next and he just doesn't want to know.
I suppose really with any doctor/psychiatrist the idea is you go along to see them, have faith in them and follow their instructions, you don't go along and tell them what you want to try next and then argue with them when they won't let you.
This latest bout of depression, general disatisfaction with life etc, suicidal thoughts, started five years ago, I naively believed because I'd always responded so well in the past to seroxat that I'd respond well to it again, I didn't though, they made me very agitated at 20mg and I didn't respond so my psychiatrist at that time tried Mirtazapine/Remeron and then doxiapen and then Sertraline and doxiapen and the prozac and then prozac and lithimu and then effexor and the lamictal for ages on it's own which didn't seem to help. The only drug that helped was Zyprexa when the anxiety and weakness was really bad. I resisted taking Zyprexa regularly and the psychiatrist never insisted I take it regularly. After being on lamictal for months with no real benefit, the psychiatrist at the time let me try Nardil when no other psychiatrist had been prepared to. In any event the Nardil just made me feel dazed and confused but fine when I took a Zyprexa with it. So we stopped Nardil and the psychiatrist decided to give Seroxat a try, only this time at a higher dose of 40mg. After feeling crap for about 4 days it suddenly started to kick in a bit, I remember vividly, It was around April 2003 and I'd been lying around at my friends house in Stratford, feeling sick, suicidal and "here we go again" type feelings. Then on the fourth day at around 5pm I decided I had to get up, couldn't just keep lying there so walked to the fish shop for him to get some fish and chips. On the way back I suddenly noticed a change of perception, a feeling of well being and a great appetite. After that I started to get pleasure out of life again although I never felt I was completely out of the woods (so to speak)
During the following two years, I started to learn to play the piano, started enjoying life again to some degree, went on holiday to Goa and enjoyed it. Because I knew that I wasn't in total remission I went to Vancouver (whilst I feel some optimism) to try out rTMS. The rTMS didn't help.
Anyway around christimas of 2005 the old depressive feeling started to creep in, I sort of knew because a friend was on about us going on holiday and I thought would it matter if the plane crashed.
July of last year I was made redundant at my job at IBM and thereore lost my medical insurance so had to go and see a psychiatrist on the NHS instead. I told him I wanted to try adding something to the Seroxat to get it to work again, so at his suggestion I took Tegretol, went to seem after a month, told him it wasnt working so again at his suggestion I took Buspar again this didn't seem to work and at our next session a month later I told him I wanted to try something else instead even though he wanted to increase the dose of the buspar. He then at my insistance put me on thyroid hormone but with great reluctance and he only gave me T3 and not T3 and T4 which is what I wanted.
Well to cut a long story short, the T3 addition didn't work, he then wanted me to add Zyprexa regularly to the Seroxat but I didn't want to so he sent me for a 2nd and a 3rd opinion both of them pretty much agreed with him and at my last appointment with him I told him that I'd stopped the Seroxat because I couldn't see the point in taking a drug that was no longer working. I lied to him and told him that I'd been taking zyprexa on a daily basis.
In my own mind there were a few options I wanted to try next these were Efexor and Remeron or just lyrica or maybe ECT. He really didn't want to know and was suggesting that I was admitted to hospital so that he could monitor me properly. I asked him what his treatment plan would be and he told me after my insistance that it would probably be an SSRI and Zyprexa. I don't understand his reasoning for admitting me into hospital just to put me on that particular combination. Anyway that's not the point
My rationale for coming off the Seroxat and staying off it and any other SSRI is that maybe if I have an eight month break on it, I can eventually go on it again and it might work again. But in the meantime I wanted to try something with a completely mode of action like maybe (Effexor and Remeron) combined, ECT or lyrica. I really don't know what I'm doing anymore.
I left his surgery after having managed to get him to prescribe Remeron instead of the Seroxat, even though that was not what I wanted because I know Remeron on it's own doesn't work for me.
I've been feeling very very low, morose and morbid because I'm now not taking anything and am undecided what to do next, although strangely I've not had any anxiety. Now my mum has just been told she has the early stages of cancer which I'm hoping will be treatable but which is worrying me and making me feel extremely guilty about neglecting her so much over the past five years and giving more time to my own condition than I have to her. And I also feel guilty over all the worry I've caused her and unhappiness I've caused her.
I just want some advise because I know I'm not always the most rationale person. I have been thinking about just taking the mirtazapine with the Zyprexa now and again but not sure what the point of that would be. AhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhDenise

Hi,
Thanks, If anyone has been patient enought to read the previous post (I know my notes are always long winded and boring) but I forgot to mention that my psychiatrist wants me to give Mirtazapine and Zyprexa (neither of which I'm taking yet) at least three months before seeing him again.
Surely three months is a bit too long to have to wait to know whether something is working for you.
When I have responded to drugs in the past it's always been withing days, weeks not months and months.

Hey Denise
I'm sorry I can't think of any practical suggestions right now! I've got to go to work.
I understand how frustrated you feel with your Pdoc though.
There's this daft idea in the UK that you have to be on a med for 3-months or longer to know if it will work.Have you considered trying something like VNS, I understand rTMS is not all its cracked up to be.

Have you tried other atypicals? I found seroquel to have less side effects than zyprexa, and seemed to work as well. I think its a bit safer, and it has a shorter half life.
I know what you mean though. For me, this board is essentially useless in that sure it can give great advice, but who am I fooling, my doctor doesn't listen to suggestions. In fact, sometimes he does the opposite just to proove he's incharge.
Have you tried 5-htp? It may help SSRI's work again.

Truly -- at least for SSRIs and most of the other newer meds, it takes longer than a few weeks to respond.
As for the three months, that bugs me, too. I don't necessarily think that it's out of line to ask you to stay on them -- and actually take them, you know? -- for three months, but I'd certainly want him to check on you after a month, and maybe adjust the dose at that time. That just makes sense to me.
Honestly? I think I'd be in favor of going in hospital to get the meds started, but largely because you've admitted that you're noncompliant. It might also be to your benefit, since the doctor could actually SEE that you weren't responding, if you didn't. (Of course, there's a chance that you actually would respond, if you took them, you know?)
On the other hand, it would be nice to see if there's a way to improve your relationship with your doctor. Have you tried telling him that you're feeling as though you've got an adversarial relationship right now, which doesn't help with your treatment, and asked him what it would take to improve it? He might say you just need to do exactly what he says, but that would give you an opening to tell him that you can't do that -- especially when you feel so strongly that he isn't listening to you. It would be hard -- and why do these things happen when we're least able to address them? -- but it might help you get through this better.
Good luck.

> Good luck.Just curious,in the same way i cant say for sure that ssris have a direct,or semi direct effect of some sort in the first few days since it is crossing in the brain,and active,and in this case would have to be the only substance i can think of going back as far as i can think of that behaves this way,i would ask you the same,only because you say it with such certaintity.
Yess we are told this,but do we know for sure that in everyones case,these drugs again entering the brain upon ingestion are not having a direct effect,can we at the least say this is the case for everyone.Building up to therputic levels is something entirly different,buti still dont understand the logic of an antidepressant being just about the only substance able to enter the brain,drig wise and not have a immediate effect.
You have fish oil and other lower end supplements,but anything considered a drug,even aspirin have a direct noticable effect.
I think it would be odd actualy to take a weeks supply of one of these drugs and not notice it,it would not make much sense to me,and again as far as long term effects,and its building in the brain,that is something i can apply logic to and understand.Anyway as far as the original posters question,i notice that some docters are in are spectrum where they read,and stay active in there profession,and then i personaly think there are some who simply work there daily practice,attend the seminars they are too,and thats about it,something every profession has,which is a degree an individual goes once they have gotten in.
I know i hear stories here of docters working with posters or even discussing these off label medicications,while in my life time of numerous docters have never had a docter mention or dare i say acnowledge the use of a off label medication the majority if hearing it from me would look at me like im the worst person to sit in front of them.
I had one who took my ideas i brought seriously and of course she then retires so now im back to a docter who the minute i mention something she doesent have a leaflet on her desk about she blows me off in two seconds.
I cant even get her to replace Nuerontin with lyrcia and ive asked 3 times now.

successful in developing mutually acceptable TX plans and negotiating your preferences--including a second and third opinion and trials with numerous drugs. ALso. I do not think that waiting 12 weeks to evaluate the response to TX is unusual given your extensive history--it often takes 8-10 weeks to fully evaluate the response to a new medication plan. I am not sure why he would want to admit you to a hospital unless he thought you were a danger to yourself or others or were not treatment compliant (which is partially the case). Your staement
"I wanted to try something with a completely mode of action like maybe (Effexor and Remeron) combined, ECT or lyrica. I really don't know what I'm doing anymore" may sum it up. The remeron/effexor, ECT or Lyrica are very different strategies (I am confused about the Lyrica which is an anxiolytic). I sincerely hope you find a physician with whom you are willing to trust and let him/her give it a fair shot on their own based on your history and responses. I run a large community health center in the States and employee 12 psychiatrists. I purposely picked a willful one who would listen but still push me to do what she thoughts was best. I know enough to be dangerous and to easily manipulate my symptoms and presentation to get what I want (If I was so inclined, which I am not). My Best wishes fca

I don't think its impossable to experience overnight improvement from an antidepressant. Here's why I say that. Sleep deprivation produces an imediate antidepressant response in 40-60% of people who try it. That is, they go into remission the next day. The more potent REM supressing medications such as the TCA's can reduce REM sleep very quickly, and are perhaps mimicking the effects of sleep deprivation in some way. I don't think its typical, but I don't think its impossable.
Some people who say they responded the next day, will say things like, "the world was so much brighter the next day". This is not an illusion, these are effects of REM supression.

I'm sorry to hear about your frustrations.
Personally, I can't get along with my NHS pdoc - honestly, he doesn't tell me anything I don't know already, and doesn't even come up with any useful med suggestions - I'm the one suggesting the meds! Although, I haven't crossed invisible line into the drugs like AT APs, or MAOIs etc. I refused to try remeron/mirtapisine. The weight gain scares me.
So I find pdocs pretty useless to be honest. I get much more help and support from my herbalist, who is really great. She kinda treats you as a whole person, rather than just a problem to be fixed, if that makes sense.
Kind regards
Meri

Hi Tom,
Yes I've thought about VNS before but I don't think it's even an option, I mean if my psychiatist won't prescribe anything other than SSRIs and antipsychotics and looks at me gone out when I mention anything out of the ordinary. How on earth am I going to persuade him to let me try VNS.
Do you have any suggestions?
By the way, whereabouts in the UK are you?

I sorry your in such a bad way,
I remember how helpful your were in the past :)I really don't have a high opinion of NHS Psychs, although I've found out private ones can be just a bad, only more expensive.
> Do you have any suggestions?
This is a vebsite about VNS, although it focuses on Epillepsy suffers they might be able to help
http://www.epilepsy.org.uk/info/vagal.htmIf I remember correctly you live in the live near Birmingham?
This means your near Bristol?
Proffesor David Nutt is based in Bristol.
He is the only Doctor in the UK who seems to be really on the ball, although I've never met him.He was talking about using DBS for depression.
Don't know if you can afford him though
> By the way, whereabouts in the UK are you?I live in Cambridge, which is annoying!
Wish I lived somewere more centralP.S. Turn your Babblemail on!
Got to go now

Hi Racer,
Thanks for responding and I'm not going to jump down your throat about the placebo bit as you're entitled to your opinion and I expect your opinion is based on your own experiences with Antidepressants.
But I have to say that I know hand on heart that the response I had within a couple of days was not placebo, a) because the experience was far too profound, I literally felt as though I'd stepped through this portal into a 3 dimensial world, it may however be that I was not experiencing the true antidepressant effect but some other chemical effect. All I can say is that the first few times I ever took them my depression was totally erradicated and very quickly. B) I just don't respond to anything in a placebo kind of way, if that was the case the two years I spent trying everything under the sun would have given me a placebo effect antidepressant type response and they didn't. The rTMS that I had in vancouver would have initially helped, the hypnotherapy I had would have initially helped etc, etc.
Thanks for your advice though about my relationship with my psychiatrist and I have tried to explain to him and other people at the hopsital that we have communication problems but that really istn't the issue is it? I guess the issue is that he is not offering enough options or possibilities and the fact that unless it has been completely tried and tested to the hilt he doesn't really want to know.

Hi Linkadge,
Thanks for believing to some degree that an early response doesn't necessarily mean a placebo effect, especially when you've not been lucky enough to have a quick response. And the brightening of the room effect is exactly what occurred to me within a few days of taking the drugs (at one time). It was literally like being in another world.
What you say about REM sleep really interests me because I find that the more depressed I am the more I seem to wake up remembering my dreams and I take it REM sleep is the dream state of sleep. This means that I must be waking up during REM sleep or that I'm experiencing more of it.

Hi Meri,
I think the problem is that like another poster said, they tend to just do their job, go to the seminars and know the text book stuff but when it comes to really asking questions and going any further they either don't have the time or are not that interested in finding out because their need is not so great.
I'm pleased that you get some help from your herbalist but I have to say I have very little faith in many alternative therapies based on my own experiences.
With this particular episode, when it first started, my mum encouraged me to go and see a hypnotherapist and admittedly to humour her I went along. Every session the guy would say "if this doesn't work I'll eat my hat" and at the end of the 14 sessions I really felt like saying "well either eat your hat or give me my money back". I think hypnotherapy only works for people who are suggestable.
When I was about 22 and didn't realise I was suffering from depression but just thought I was ill my mum took me to see a homeopathist, she presecribed this liquid which was the bark of some tree, I took it in the prescribed manner and it did nothing, fortunately about a year after I was prescribed prothiaden/doxepin a tricyclic and even though I didn't think it would help as as far as I was concerned I was not depressed it changed my life so much for the better. The tree bark was a joke!
I am very cynical when it comes to alternative therapies because I have to admit I think most of them are money making rackets, and maybe in some cases the intentions are good but they mostly rely on the suggestibility of the people receiving the treatments (which is not a bad thing) but I'm not suggestable. If something is to work then as far as I'm concerned if something is to work then it should work on it's own merits and should not rely on my either wanting it to work or believing it will work.

I totally believe you when you say that you responded right away. I have heard quite a few people say the same thing. Officially, they say that you shouldn't respond right away for a few reasons.
1) Immediate responses make antidepressants
look more like pep pills.2) It encourages the patient to stick with
with treatment.3) Some people do take a while to respond.
My mother had a similar response to a related drug (Doxapin) when she had her first depression.
I think the medications that effect norepinephrine can work faster too. Drugs like amphetamine block the uptake of norepinephrine and improve mood almost immediately.
Depressed people tend to have altered REM sleeping patterns. It is possable that your nightmares are related to this type of alteration.
If you ever got the opportunity, you could try one night of total sleep deprivation, and then try starting an antidepressant like dothepin the next night.
There are a number of articles which seem to suggest that a short courses of sleep deprivation can accelerate the antidepressant response to certain drugs.

The doctor asked me how I fell asleep and I told him I just wait for a dream to begin, latch onto it and dive in. He told me that this was not normal at all and you shouldn't go straight into REM sleep so he is setting up a Multiple Sleep Latency Test. He thinks I might have a form of Narcolepsy because I also suffer from sleep paralysis, hypnogogic and hypnopompic hallucinations, insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness and shocking nightmares. He also told me that this might be the cause of my depression. The only crappy thing is that they can't get me in for this test until next year, Not happy!!!!!

Thanks Jan!! No not CPAP, that's more from sleep apnoea, he was talking about stimulants and sedatives to regulate my REM sleep. I have slipped backwards big time depression wise because I can't believe how long I have to wait. I just got back from seeing my GP and he tried to put me back on Luvox and Zyprexa and I said NO!! So I went and got some SAMe, St Johns Wort and some mega B complex it cost me $100.

FCA,
Thanks for responding and I entirely agree with you about knowing enough to be dangerous but I wonder exactly what these psychiatrists know as far as these drugs go (not much). What they know is based on mainly conjecture anyway.
I rarely lie to my psychiatrist (this was a first) and tend to be compliant most of the time but if something still doesn't seem to be helping after a month is up then I'd rather disgard it and move onto something else and I wish he would go along with that. If I was seeing glimmers of light during the first month or noticing some signs of improvement then I'd be moe inclined to give them longer but when there is none I can't see the point.

Tom,
Thanks for the link.
Yes I wrote to Dr Nutt about the DBS trials they were supposed to be starting in Bristol, I just wanted the chance to go and discuss it with him but my Psychiatrist wouldn't refer me and the people in Bristol were saying that he had to refer me in order for me to be able to go and discuss it with them!
Also, I know somebody (by email only) who was down as a candidate for the trial but last time I heard from him they had cancelled the trials in September for some reason and don't know what the outlook is. Dr Nutt tried this man on a particular combination which included Lithium and Tryptophan but unfortunately it didn't work.
