> Scott,
I have a brief stint on Anafrinil for a about 3 days before I found the side effects intolerable. I'm on Paxil right now. I was just reading some posts about imiprimine...is this a tricyclic? I'm running out of hope and options. I'm extremely suicidal during the days, though I notice a decided lessoning of the depression as the evening comes. I spend most of my days in bed just trying to breathe the pain away, asking God to just take me in my sleep. Its an aweful existence. I wondered if I could get my cortisol levels down if this could help take some of the pain away that I go through during the daylight hours...when my levels are well above the normal range. As midnight approaches, the cortisol levels drop back to normal levels...and this why I suspect I don't have insomnia as many people who are severely depressed do.
Curious, Scott, has anything helped you with depression? What has kept you going?
