JohnL, thank you for the suggestions. I think we should get straight to the secondary choices. I tried various mood stabilizers and I really don't do well with them. Tried Effexor, Depakote, Neurontin, and Tegretol. They are too sedating for me and zap my motivation, which depresses me more. I really don't want to try Lithium, either., because of the weight gain. Don't do well on SSRI's either.
Haven't tried Klonopin, Amisulpride, Risperdal, or Zyprexa. What can you tell me about those? I guess you could categorize me as a "treatment resistant" case. I'm very sensitive to meds. And I happen to be one of the few people on Wellbutrin that makes me tired.
I have tried over a few years, with remission in between, pretty many meds. I know there are a lot more. It is very frustrating, but what other choice is there? You gotta do what you gotta do.
Thank you for your suggestions, John.
Lisa
