> Scott that's the one TCA I took. One time only. For me it made me feel like I was in a dream during sleep. Next day I had to work I was a new nurse and the spaciness was there all day. I didn't need an ad then. I flushed them down the toilet.
So, then, you haven't taken a TCA or a MAOI?
Gosh, you're practically a virgin!
Remember, sometimes the drugs that work best are the ones that make you feel weird when you first start taking them.
You have at least two worlds to explore: TCA and MAOI, and all of the combinations that can be crafted around them.
Since you have demonstrated responsivity to both Paxil and Luvox, I would remain hopeful that you will find another treatment that you will find effective. Somehow, I get the feeling that you have never had much of a coherent treatment plan in place. I don't doubt that you could revisit Paxil and recapture a response from it at therapeutic dosages that are higher than the 10mg that you took. I see your options increasing in number as we speak. So, now we know that there are a bunch of drugs that you have yet to try at therapeutic dosages for 4-6 weeks. This isn't meant to confuse you any more than you already are as it is to give you real reasons to have hope. Even if Emsam isn't the right drug for you, there are many options available to you, including adding drugs to the Emsam before giving up on it.
To me, it looks like we are dealing with MDD and GAD. Is this correct?
If it is, I would move to Nardil after Emsam.
By the way, why do you find Emsam more attractive than Nardil?
