Thanks for the heads up on the Nardil. I tried it once for about a month...should I give it a go again? Did my description of my symptoms sound like yours? Out of curiousity, did you have a trigger at some time in your life when it all began...I ask because I did. So what are you taking now and how are you dealing with it?
Anyway, no, I don't have a name for it and I'm not sure a name would do anything unless someone has an answer on how to treat it. I mean, I've had this illness consistantly for 15 years now and well, yes, there have been lots of names and fancy diagnostic labels for it ranging from depression and anxiety to generalized anxiety disorder or now bipolor NOS (the NOS means "not other-wise specified"...it doesn't fit any usual bipolar diagnosis because I don't have mania but my pdoc said that since no meds for unipolar depression have worked, we should try treating it like bipolar).
