hey...aadika, I was the one asking about that new med that starts with an"r" (forgot the spelling) anyway... read the list of all the meds you've tried and i think i've got you beat...lol... you seem pretty bright in regards to medicine and treatment... do you mind me asking what your diagnosis is... and you said you were 19 right? well anyways.... i've been on:

tca's: elavil,desipramine, imipramine, tofranil... and some others...

maoi's: nardil, parnate and i think another forget name though, moclobemide(maoi-b from european pharm) seligiline...

ssri's: paxil, prozac, zoloft, celexa, new celexa...

other antideps.:effexor, remeron, serzone, trazadone,wellbutrin, reboxetine(snri from europe),manerix

antianxiety:buspar, klonapin, xanex, valium, ativan

antisezure: lithium, depakote, tegratol, lamictal, topimax, neurontin, gabatril, keppra, zonegran...trileptal...i think some others too...

anti psych's: seroquil,geodon, aripiprazole(dont know trade name... just came out) & took zyprexa one night when i was spazzing out in the hospital...

stim's: dexadrine, ritalin, cylert, provigil, ummm and a new one that just came out....

sleepers: sonata, and that other one that didnt do crap...

herbal rem's: st johns wort, kava, same, melatonin, tyrosine, tryptophan, b-complex vitamins...omega 3's(taking right now.. cant tell anyhting though....exercize helps sometimes ... currently investigating the low carb diet....

& I've had 5 weekly or longer stays at api mental hosp. in the past 6 years + 2 (14) round sessions of bilateral e.c.t...
i am a 21 yr old female... and my depression started back in 9th grade after taking a med called accutane(but i've got some fam hist. too)
anyway... my diagnosis was depression at first then it went to atypical depression to anxiety , to rapid cycling bipolar II with a cyclical focus on major depressive disorder.... honestly i dont think they know whats wrong with me...
anyway... the only thing that concerns me right now is that after being on all these meds i have gon fron 5'6 105 lbs to (same height) but 144lbs and that right there makes me want to cry... i seriously wanna kill myself every night just because of that.... but i dont cause my doc said that i'f i ever tried to kill myself again, he wouldnt treat me... and that would suck..... anyway about the meds..... nothing has really worked for both my depression and anxiety as e.c.t,,, i lost my memory for a while but it got me out of the house, working, and going to school for almost a year....the other things that worked for about 3 month stretches were.. keppra, zoloft+klonapin combo(not that great but able to finish home school.. had to drop out of h.s.)and aripiprazole....i will seriously never go on another ssri again they practiclly make me 10 times worse in terms of anxiety....stim's work for my dep. but poop out after like 3 days... most mood stabolizers make me feel retarded especially topimax... (got in a nice little car accident on that one)remeron made me comatose, effexor made me manic, ummm... think thats about it.... anyway... just wanted to get my story out there... if anyone has any questions, comments , or suggestions... bring em on!!
