I thought this would be a thread that maybe emphasizes a bit more of the 'positives' rather than just general questions. I'd really like to keep this thread as 'permanent' as possible..so in the future, others may benefit from our experiences. (Of course..YMMV..etc.) Also, rather that your 'diagnosis'..please list the particular symptoms your med(s) help. I will start:Trying:
300mg Effexor XR (depression)
Tegretol 200mg 2x a day (Anti-manic)
Benzodiazepine (Bromazepam) 2x a day (3mg each)This has just started...so I will report back in soon. I have a VERY hard time with the mania/anxiety crossover. My doc thinks that there are strong links between the two, and that may be why the benzodiazepines can help mania, and why the 'downer' meds like Depakote and Tegretol can help. (I know..they aren't really 'downers'..but involve the slowing down of nerve transmission.)
Hope to see where this goes!
Peace,
