wellbutrin used to work but no longer does.
and the last time i used it it was in combination with zoloft, and zoloft alone did nothing. so those are no longer options.

started Geodon at 80 and stayed there for a while fine (thought it was working, but either the zyprexa just kept working for extended time or i was actually somewhat stable on my own) then i started going downhill and pdoc doubled dose to 160, i got psychotically depressed, with suicidal visions and thoughts bombarding throughout each day, and crying.
i still can't believe that i made it through that alive.
(was also on topomax and buproprion (neither of which i think did anything) and ritalin)

maybe going back down to 80 would have been enough for me but when i went down i didn't get any better so i was taken off completely so that i could get back on zyprexa (the only thing that has ever seemed to work for my psychotic depression).

i'm actually thinking that its more of a dopamine issue with me than a seratonin issue.
i definately know to stay clear of norepinephrine ones like effexor-those make me rapid cycle and DEFINATELY get manic.

i may try some TCA's next. but for now, i'm taking a rest of the med game, this last battle almost cost me my life and i'm still recouping. i need to gain some mental and physical strength back.

thanks for the input Scott. its always nice to talk with you.
b2c.
