Hey Sigolène, I didn't know you could speak Spanish!

Je voudrais parler français bien comme vous parlez Anglais. J'ai oublié presque tout. (Most of what I have forgotten, I never knew). Vous le parlez magnifique! C'est bon qu'il y a quelqu'un ici qui peut communiquer avec les autres sur les choses importantes. Vous nous aidez beaucoup.

Vous êtes très gentil. You're real nice too. :-)

Boy it would be nice if Serzone came in an extended release version so one wouldn't have to do the b.i.d or t.i.d. dosing. Anyone know if this is in the works?

Not predicting, just using statictics and facts. True there is always the exception
but there is no question to the chronic nature and progression of depression.

James here....

15 yrs of dperession and alot of reading have brought me to some truths. I tend to state them blunty because mental illness
is a very significant so I don't pussy foot around.
As long as you keep it in terms of "this is wnat I think" and not attack you are fine with
me.

As such, I don't think there is any question that with most mental illness, if there are several relapses, the condition
is chronic. At least 50 yrs of case history supports this. I don't see this is a negetive, but a fact to be delt with.
It's treatable, with a high rate of sucess. Treating it also means it does not get worse. If going off the meds means a relapse and sucidial thoughts, why stop.
Esp. if the staticits support this. I never, ever, never, ever
want to think about killing myself again. I have had a 100% cure of this happening, for 15 yrs, on meds. This is good news, not negative.

Just an interesting tidbit. Clinical studies have been done to compare b.i.d. dosing with once-a-day dosing. There was no significant difference. Serzone can be taken just once a day if desired, despite its relatively short halflife. I've also heard anecdotal reports here at this board of people who take it just once a day and do fine.

The best time to take it might be late afternoon or early evening. This way the sedation will kick in at bedtime and not carryover so much into the next day. And XR version would be cool. But even without it Serzone can be dosed just once a day if desired.

James, the part that I would disagree with here is that going on and off of meds is responsible for treatment resistent depression. So it seems as if you are blaming catsparkle. Treatment resistent depression can also occur through continuous anti-depression treatment for many, with drugs becoming less effective the longer you take them. There are certainly a lot of examples of that on the board, including myself. You cannot predict if catsparkle never went off her medication whether she would become treatment resistent or not. Perhaps she is more likely to become treatment resistent if she goes on and off meds, you say the stats support this and I am not familiar enough with the stats to assume that you are not correct. shellie

I agree with both of you.

The jargon used for going on and off medication rapidly is "pulsing". Pulsing antidepressants is discouraged and can indeed foster treatment resistance (obviously, not always) as well as precipitate mania in vulnerable individuals. However, I think pulsing refers more to going on and off an effective medication frequently during a single depressive episode. Treating infrequent recurrent episodes periodically does not qualify as pulsing. The problem is, treatment is often truncated at six months, frequently resulting in relapse. I'm too lazy to verify these numbers, but one of my doctors used a treatment range of 12-14 months to "solidify" things and greatly reduce the risk of relapse. If a case history displays frequent recurrent episodes (I believe DSM IV gives guidelines for the word "recurrent"), indefinite treatment is indicated.

> Treatment resistent depression can also occur through continuous anti-depression treatment for many, with drugs becoming less effective the longer you take them.

Shellie, this is a fascinating notion. Well, actually, it is a notion of critical importance. I'm going to keep it in mind from now on. It is a new idea for me. Thanks. As you come across corroborative observations and information regarding this topic, please don't hesitate to post them.

stjames said: "Because you have been "penny wise and pound foolish" you now have treatment resistant depression, which may only respond to lots of meds or not respond at all to any med(s)."

Well, I haven't commented on this, but I suppose I will now.

I wanted to clarify: I have not become "treatment-resisitant" because I went off Zoloft. I don't know whether I even warrant that label yet or not, and if I do, nothing I've done has caused it. I discontinued Zoloft (after four years of taking it continuously) because in the final year it had begun to lose effectiveness and I was having side effects which, after so many years, I felt were unacceptable (the sexual difficulties, the inability to write (or even think!) creatively, the inability to feel anything deeply (either sadness or joy). Therefore, a dose increase was not an option. So if my depression has become "resistant," so far it is only to the Zoloft. And it became "resistant" to Zoloft before I stopped, not because I stopped.

I have just begun taking the Serzone, so I can't say yet whether or not I am "resistant" to it. Currently, it is helping the anxiety and panic, just not the depression (but it has only been a week).

My doctor and I decided that I would try to go drug-free for awhile, because my husband and I were thinking about becoming pregnant. They (MD and psychologist) felt that as long as I was vigilant about return of symptoms (which I admit wasn't, and (believe me) I've learned my lesson), I might not have to take meds continuously. Once I'm better, if I want to try again, they might let me taper off. But if I get bad again (particularly if I can't last more than a year off drug), then I know that I may need to be on them for life. I admit I wasn't as good as I should have been about watching for symptoms of the depression's return. I won't make that mistake again.

Try to understand, it's difficult when a person has to make a decision about having children. I am pretty far into my childbearing years, so it's an important issue for me. I won't become pregnant with these drugs in my system. No matter what anyone says, there's no drug that can be guaranteed not to have an adverse effect on a baby. So having to be on meds forever (to me) means not having children. And that's a difficult thing for me. I would want my child to have the best start possible, and I worry as it is about passing on (genetically) a predisposition for depression and about my ability (due to a strange childhood) about my ability to even be a parent.

Well, I've rambled enough. But I did want to comment on your opinion that stopping Zoloft making me "resistant." That isn't what happened.

Anyway, I appreciate everyone's thoughtful responses to my post (even though I can't read French J).

Thanks for listening,
Cat

I just wanted to wish you luck. I have been on Serzone for a little over a week now and I am hoping for good results. I switched from Paxil for personnal reasons, like you did Serzone has only gotten better since the first couple of days for me. I couldn't work for the first 4 days on serzone because of the dizziness and concentration problems. They are much better now, it has been 10 days.

No, Shellie, I am not teasing you. If I were, it would be with affection and unambiguous.

I was very serious about being intrigued by your idea. I was even contemplating it in the shower this morning. It might truly be counterproductive to continue taking an antidepressant beyond what may be necessary to attain a full remission along with resistance of relapse within the context of the presenting episode.

Have you seen anything written about this subject? I would want to look at it right away.


I remain very admiring of you.

Scott and Dove.

What I was talking about here was the effect of what has been called "poop-out". I was on nardil for about eight years, then it was no longer effective. After being off for several months I went back on with renewed effectiveness; then about five years later nardil lost its effectiveness again and this time a break does not reproduce it's original effectiveness. I go for a consultation with a psychopharmacolgist and he says this is quite common--the tendency for anti-depressants, to lose effectiveness over time.

I have not had a lot of time to look on the internet; it does not seem to be a very researched topic, or else I am putting in the wrong key words.

I guess I thought this was popular knowledge because of the many many people on the board who have used a specific antidepressant successfully, only to have it die on them. So maybe you guys are reading something it to my statement that I had not intended.

And I've thought of the concept of perhaps if I had not stayed on the nardil for so long originally, I could have bought myself more time later for success on it. (I think, perhaps that was what you were thinking about in the shower, Scott).

My sister had to double her dose of prozac after about six years to get the same effect--there might be some info on increasing same medication to maintain the same effect, which may be related to the idea of an antidepressant losing effectiveness. Perhaps if I was able to double nardil, that would have done the trick, but side effects eliminated that possibility. I didn't start out as treatment resistent; my life didn't take an unexpected bad turn. I've always assumed it had to do with the development of tolerance toward a medication. This has also made me a skeptic when it comes to finding the right cocktail for me--if found, how do I know how long will it remain effective for me.

Anyway, are these the ideas you are talking about, or are you extrapolating something else from what I said?

later, and later, Shellie

This is the critical question.

Tell me about it. Work twenty years to find one thing that will work for only two? Should I commit to a new career? Should I matriculate? Well, maybe only in the shower for now.

> Anyway, are these the ideas you are talking about, or are you extrapolating something else from what I said?

I pooped out on TCA's in 1994-95, but Effexor saved the day.
My concept of poop out is that after several years
the body readjusts itself, compensating for the med.
The body reassurts it's desired state. Switching class
of AD helps; we are lucky to have a few classes to chose from.
The future holds AD's that work thru different pathways than we have
now. Some are in trial now. These will give more options.

James:
I have a strong background in psychology for one thing, have had depression a long time, too, and know what I am talking about. You did seem to make a prediction and I have no idea what your stats are or how it qualifies you to make that sort of statement. That sort of statement can set up a person who believes what you said and I simply don't believe what you said. I am entitled to my opinion. There are many more exceptions than the rule and then it depends on what research material you are looking at. To be supportive is the goal of this board and that blunt, thoughtless statement was not supportive.r.

*************
You told her the outcome of her depression. You are not correct with whatever stats you are using. Of course depression can be chronic and I've had it on and off for 33 years +. There are questions about the progression of depression for sure. All of them have not been answered and I suggest you search for more information and then you will see that the so-called facts are only hypotheses to be tested by many and debated, too. You need to learn more, yet, as we all do-please remember that.

Actually this is the post you need to read:

I'm not really happy about having my nose rubbed in it again, esp after I said I was clearly wrong.
Why bring this up again after, thankfully, it had rolled over to last month ?

"The risk of recurrance is significant: 50% after one episode, 70% after two episodes, 90% after three episodes."

Stephen M. Stahl, "Essential Psychopharmacology of Depression and Bipolar Disorder", page 6.

From where I was standing, you never said you were clearly wrong. Unless I missed something. Seems like you like to reproach me and the lady who started the thread, too. Practice what you preach. You are trying to rub my nose in it, aren't you? Why don't you allow me to be human?
I have my own sources that I follow and apparantly you never got the real gist of what I was saying.
