In reply to Persistant Feeling of General Unstability?, posted by chiron on May 9, 2002, at 22:37:44
> Living is strange & foreign to me, and I’ve never liked it. I have my times when I would give anything to die, feel like I am going absolutely crazy, very depressed, can’t handle anything, etc. But for the past little while, I haven’t dipped too deep. I usually manage to put on appearances and keep up my responsibilities. I’ve tried the first line meds, & it seems Prozac helps a little. MY QUESTION IS- HOW LIKELY IS IT THAT MED WILL HELP W/ MY FOLLOWING PROBLEMS? I AM TRYING TO WEIGH THE $ COST VS. BENEFIT. I have no insurance, and am also nervous that my trials would lead to errors, feeling worse.

> For Example: Feel empty, got to get out. Will go hang out at a friends, feel restless shortly after, and need to leave. Always trying to be where I'm not.

> Reading is annoying

Just a fast hunch-but try a generic MAOI inhibitor like phenelzine or tranylcypromine. It is very cheap and might work quite well for those symptoms. Just a guess.hope this helps,
