Can someone evaluate my meds?

Posted by jerrympls on December 13, 2004, at 17:53:06

I'm currently on:

Cymbalta - 60mg
Klonopin - 1mg a.m. 2mg at bedtime 1mg prn
Dexedrine - 15mg 3x daily
Seroquel - 150mg bedtime (for insomnia)
Mirapex - .5mg for restless legs

I haven treatment-resistant depression. I'm extremely apathetic and emotionally numb. I get no enjoyment from anything - all desires are dead. I feel blank. The dexedrine is mainly so I can focus and work. Other than that - I have no friends nor the energy for them. I'm a musician and haven't played for many years. I used to get warmth from listening to music - but not in many years. One thing that DOES help all this is opiates -mainly hydrocodone. My pdoc did some opiate trials with me about a year ago - but decided against continuing because she got scared about using them. Now in my record it says "Opiate trial was a failure," even though they helped me emensouly.

As for asking me about what else have I tried - I've tried it all - every SSRI, SNRI, MAOI, tricyclic (imipramime, desipramine), ECT and the VNS implant. I'm in therapy as well.

I'm running out of hope.

Thanks in advance for anyone taking a stab at this.

Jerry
