In reply to What stage of treatment-resistance are you?, posted by SLS on August 4, 2006, at 8:48:06
I guess I'm stage 4 and a half. I've tried rTMS but not ECT. I'm with Racer, I just can't see doing ECT, the long term risks seem to outweigh any possible short term benefits. But how exactly is an adequate trial defined? At least 6 weeks at a dose the PDR considers in a therapeutic range? Or the incredibly high doses some people here seem able to tolerate? If it's the latter I may have never had an adequate trial! If it's the former, I've had adequate trials on Trazodone, Wellbutrin (combined with Celexa), Celexa, Serzone, Zoloft, Paxil, Nortriptyline, Lamictal (combined with Celexa and Trazodone), Moclobemide, Tianeptine, Milnacipran, Marplan, Remeron, Gabapentin, Buspar (combined with Celexa), 5-HTP and St. John's Wort. Plus almost adequate (38 and 37 days) on Nardil and Emsam. Inadequate trials from one day to one month (due to unbearable side effects) on Desipramine, Doxepin, Imipramine, Prozac, Effexor, Clomipramine, Lithium, Methylphenidate, Dexedrine, Olanzapine, Parnate, Reboxetine, Luvox, Adrafinil, Cymbalta, and SAM-e.
