Hey all. Well I have Bipolar I and OCD.
Im currently taking Zyprexa and Depakote.
Im starting to feel depressed again, I was on Parnate for about 3 months but now I am on no antidepressant. I think Parnate was the best drug for my depression but i couldnt handle the sedation, it left me in bed for almost all day.Anyway I dont know which drug to try next for my depression, anxiety and OCD which I still have. My mania is under control though so I am not worried about that. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Anything I can suggest to my Psych would be great thanks. I am in Australia but my doc said he can import certain drugs or something like that. With this list i'll try and keep with the American names as best as I can.
Ok here goes:
Antidepressants:
MAOIs
ParnateRIMAs
AurorixTCAs
Anafranil
Doxepin
Prothiaden
Allegron
TofranilSSRIs
Zoloft
Prozac
Paxil
Celexa
Luvox
LexaproNARI
ReboxotineSNRI
EffexorOther
(Avanza)Mirtazapine
WellbutrinMood stabalisers
Epilim(Depakote)
LithiumAntipsychotics
Solian
Zyprexa
Respridal
Seroquel
Abilify
Largactil(Thorazine)Benzodiazepines
Valium
Ativan
Xanax
Seropax
LexotanIve also been on Stilnox (Ambien I think its called in America) and a few beta-blockers, and also benztropine to control akathisia I had from some antipsychotics ive been on.
I really dont have any faith in antidepressants at the moment considering that I have tried so many and none have seemed to work. Anything, anything at all anyone could suggest I would greatly appreciate. I asked my psych about Lamictil and he didnt like the idea, also about Selegiline he also didnt think that was a good idea :( I was thinking of maybe trying the European anti-d called "stablon" but Im not sure.
Thanks and take care
Chris.
