Yay!

Not so yay.

Will do. :-)

Thanks for the update. Depending on how you do with with higher dosages, I might consider tying it again.

> hope you're doing okay.

Thanks for your concern. I have been in a holding-pattern. I am waiting to try mifepristone and possibly ketoconazole/metyrapone. In the meantime, I am gleaning some small benefit from:

Parnate 60mg
nortriptyline 100mg
Lamictal 300mg
Abilify 10mg

The Parnate + nortriptyline help only so much, and represent a dead-end, but I can't think of anything better to do to help keep my head above water.

This is no fun.
