New cocktail

Posted by ricker on May 1, 2009, at 14:49:51

Hi all,

I've been away for awhile.... last 3 months were not good at all. I failed with zyprexa, seroquel,lamictal and lexapro. I'm happy to report my mood has improved over the last few weeks with my new meds.
Zoloft 50mg, Nortriptyline 50mg and Trileptal 600mg.
I just pray I continue to remain stable and do not develop untolerable side-effects.....so far,so good!
Thanks to the insight I've gained from many of you, I was able to convince my p/doc to give my new meds a trial.
My p/doc wanted to admit me for another course of ECT..... first treatment was 1990 and although it may have helped a little, I was not willing to revisit the treatment.
I'm kinda puzzled at how much better I feel given the reduction in my med treatment? I guess sometimes, less is more. Fighting this illness for 25 years so I do realize the potential for relapse exists.....I'm going to enjoy every moment and again, thanks to everyone here for your support.

Regards, Rick

That is awesome news! Thanks for sharing. Thanks for hanging in there through all those traumatic lows and traumatic trials. You sure deserve the goodness you have won.

I like to read the writings of Dr Gillman at psychotropical.com. In over 1000 patients, one his top most successful treatments is with Zoloft+Nortripyline. :-)

Ricker so happy for you. Agree less is more. Never realized you had ECT though. Phillipa
