Scott,I felt heart warmed when I read what you wrote to Denise about cell rejuvenation and cerebral cortex functioning again. I have been ill for 30 years and many times experience such a low cognitive function. I always feel like my brain is slowly dying off. Used to be quick and smart in school and had a wry sense of humor. All gone now.
You mentioned Meridia once before and I remembered it but I thought it was something my sister took for obesity and for some reason thought it had been taken off the market.I am keenly interested in how this works for depression? My initial introduction to "mental illness" at age 15 was anorexia nervosa, for about a year. I weighed 59lbs before I ate much again. For the next 29 years to present I have had bulimia. So this might be something helpful.
I just asked about the ect. because of my own experience. It is in a prior post. Sorry if it was intrusive or misinterpreted.
I have been looking forward to trying Cymbalta for a few years. I am going to talk with my pdoc today but he is so out of it most of the time I doubt I will get a good suggestion from him so I will still have to decide myself what is next.
I still have some amineptine. I thought it was still around, though very expensive. I have not looked for a while. If I see I cannot order it I will not bother trying it.
>By the way, there is another alternative for using a drug with a combined NE/5-HT reuptake inhibition - sibutramine (Meridia).
I do not understand NE/5-Ht so well. Can you elaborate or simply compare it with similar drugs so I can understand it better? Perhaps a link if you have one on the top of your head or under your arm! I know I am a pest.
Thanks for being you,
irene
