> Looks like lamotrigine is a strong contender then pseudoname?
Yeah, even if I do get ECT. My insurance company hasn't okayed the ECT, so I'm really in limbo for the moment -- as is my extended family, who must take time from work to get me to & from the hospital.
:(I'm about to make an appointment with my regular doc, which will be for a time after the ECT, *if* I get the ECT.
> You guys are really lucky to have access to so many professionals!
It is easy to take things for granted. Thanks for reminding of that good side of U.S. health care: broad choice, if you can afford to pay for it.
> I was rejected at interview stage for CBT also, because I was too unstable.
Very interesting. I think most of the CBT stuff can be done on your own, with a good book (like "Feeling Good").
> ...try a dopamine agonist like cabergoline?
Can you say more about cabergoline? You've used it? But it didn't help enough? That's the usual way. I looked just now but I don't find a thread for it on the main board or on Alternative. I'll look on Wiki. ;-)
