I have read many posts about different medications on this sight. AndrewB and Scott have provided a lot of helpful suggestions in particular.
My current cognitive skills are poor and I am forgetting what I read promptly.
Anyway I tried to put together what I had looked at in the past year. I came up with the following:
Amisulpride
Mirapex
Requip
MilnacipranI have atypical depression. Combined with some bulimia and major anxiety. I have been lying around for about two years afraid to go out, lethargic suicidal. Four days ago I attempted an overdose (not to make anyone react!) with oxycontin and alcohol. My stomach would not tolerate the mix for very long and a good lot of it came out. Anyway obviously I am still here. So I still need to try and find a way to make what is left of this "life" tolerable.
The only meds that have helped in the past are Parnate (not anymore) reboxetine a little. Ritalin helps some so I still take it along with oxycontin for pain sometimes and also for depression. It helps a little. I also take benzo's. And occasionally 2mg perphenazine to calm me down. So much for a brief bio.
I forgot I also took amineptine briefly and it helped tremendously but each time I try it again it does not seem to work anymore.
My thoughts were to try amisulpride25-50mg perhaps with amineptine?
Or Amisulpride with mirapex?
I figured at least for now I would stay on the ritalin so I can at least get up to swallow the stuff?I do not remember my interest in the two other drugs right now. My doctor said he would read the stuff I sent but who knows when.
If I tell him to write a script he will. So I am asking for your help in deciding what to try at least first? I will tell him to send the scripts. I already told him to send one for amisulpride.
I still have amineptine and reboxetine on hand.
I have tried Provigil, adafranil and several other anti Parkinson’s drugs. For different reasons each did not work for me. For instance Provigil made me so nervous and did nothing for mood. Without detail I have tried about all of the "usual" anti-depressants.
I tend toward high anxiety low energy. I also tend to be self destructive and of course long-winded.
Sorry for the long disorganized email. I am doing my best.I would appreciate any suggestions. If anyone has need for further info. no problem.
Thank you,
