> I was thinking about your problem last night and it occured to me that you could possibly try de-sensitisation therapy. If there is a drug that you have responded well to, you could try taking the minutest bit and try to build it up very slowly. It sounds like you are very sensitive,so I mean like a dose thats so low its not medicinally beneficial at first.

The problem that I have is this. Since I combined Remeron and Effexor, I have had extreme immediate reactions to any meds that I have taken and the more that I have taken, the more sensitive my brain has become. I am sure that it is not an allergy type thing. I am convinced that that combination of drugs was far too strong for my brain to accept and they have damaged whatever mechanism the brain normally has that mean A/Ds normally take weeks to work. Even if I did start something at a minute dose, I would just be making my brain even more sensitive than it already is. I suppose by now it probably doesn't matter. It will never recover to what it was anyway, so it could be worth a try. The problem is going to be trying to divide a tablet small enough so that it doesn't give me a blinding headache the following day.
Thanks again for your thoughts.
Richard
