Hey civ, fwiw, even though I am am minimally medicated right now, I am trying to find meds I can tolerate! I don't like any meds, but unfortunately I still feel compelled to find something that works for me!! Being very treatment resistant is not fun ! While I like the support and exchange of thoughts and ideas and suggestions re what works and what does'nt. I also feel that many people on this board do have a good response to meds and seem to just be whining about what at many times appear to be trivial side effects to meds that are effective for them! I am sorry If my response back to you sounds ambivelent, or curt. But If I, like many others on this board who are truly *treatment resistant* could find a med or combo of meds that would help them feel half way normal - the S/E' profiles would probably seem pretty damn insignificant. I am seriously facing the likely hood that I may have to go through another series of ect treatments. Which happens to be the most effective anti-depressant out there. I know it may sound like I am anti-med, I am not, but like SLS (Scott) said in a recent post; having to deal with significant mental illness day in and day out, really grinds ones tolerance level down!
I have been frequenting this board a lot lately, looking for possible answers and at the same time if I can offer some advice and or constructive comments about what has or has not worked for me in the past then I am going to respond - I do this mainly to give people the truth and my experiences with the variuos 50 or so meds that I have taken in the last 14 years, in an effort to try and help them avoid many of the drug nightmares that I have encountered !!Again I am sorry If my posts and responses sound like I think all meds suck-they don't. I am just trying to get *stable*, and please don't feel like my lengthy response to your original simple question is a personal attack! It is not!-My depression and anxiety levels are just really instense right now and I am sure that that comes through in my posts!!
BTW what meds do you like and what works for you?
