Hi Scott,
This is a great help, I'm going to send this to my new Psychiatrist.
The reason I asked is that about two years ago Seroxat started working for me a bit after failing at another time previously. Anyway, after the Christmas the Seroxat hasn't been working.
I was trying to rack my brains thinking of what to do next and it ocurred to me that the Seroxat had worked after I'd been on a months trial of Nardil and the normal two weeks washout period and was wondering if there could have been anything in that. I also remembered that when I started the Seroxat I didn't get all of the horrible anxiety start up affects I got before.
So I mentioned to this to my psychiatrist and asked if I could try this again, i.e. take Nardil for a month come off and then go back on Seroxat. She thought about it and speculated that perhaps the Nardil had still been exerting its effects, even though it was no longer in my system and maybe that's what helped the Seroxat to work.
Anyway, we are going to give this a try again but failing that working she mentioned it might be an idea to try Moclobemide with an SSRI and asked me to do some research whilst she looks into the ECT option. She's a new psychiatrist I've been seeing as she's really nice in that she considers my suggestions without batting them straight out the window.
How is it going with the Trileptal?
Denise
