> Mav I know you will be posting back understand the frustration when you've been on so many meds and they don't work. Can you name them. Sorry if you've done this before. We're you on nardil and parnate for quite a while? Hard to remember. Love Phillipa
Yeah i had many attempts at nardil and parnate over a few years, my body just couldn;t handle it though, my blood pressure would be so low that i just couldnt remain standing.
Other things ive tried is all the ssri's, the snri's, reboxetine, mirtazapine, moclobemide all the TCA's (except desipramine because you cant get it in australia) umm seroquel, risperdal, zyprexa, stelazine, melleril, haldol, ziprasidone, aripiprazole, all the benzos avail in australia, sodium valproate, wellbutrin, betaloc (beta blocker) clonadine (as an experiment)
So far i've learnt that anything that touches noradrenaline lowers my bp and leaves me lethargic and sore, seratonin makes me feel like an emotionless zombie, antipsychotics makes me want to dril open my head and suck the stuff out of my brain and benzos seem to have little effect.
My dx's are depression, and social phobia and what could be either atypical depression or borderline personality disorder. i don't have any psychotic symptomns of any kind though thankfully.
Recently had a cat scan as well as a billion blood tests to check it wasn't something else causingmy problems, everything was fine other than the kidney results but they wern't serious, my thyroid levels are fine but twice now in the last 6 years i have returned results of low levels (enough for the results to show a red warning about being too low) but they always return to normal a week later. Unfortunatly T3 augmentation isn't done here which is something i would have ovd to have tried.
