Hi Linkadge.

I am saddened and frustrated for you. I can certainly empathize with your having mixed results or transient responses to treatment.

> I seem to have hit a snag with the amitriptyline.
>
> It kind of works to reduce some of the worst feelings but I feel pretty out of it on the drug.

I did not tolerate amitriptyline well because I felt so drugged on it. It was quite disgusting.

> I havn't been taking it like I should

That's understandable. I am not always compliant when I feel like I am swallowing poison pills that are going to make me feel like crap.

> The other drug I am taking is methlyphenidate which I tolerate a lot better and is probably keeping me floating.

Long shot: Is it possible that the methylphenidate was acting with the nortriptyline in such a way as to produce the harshness you experienced?

> I have crippling sadness which permates everything I do. Almost every moment of my life is a reminder of death.

I am really sorry to hear this. I cannot empathize fully with your suffering because I generally don't experience such melancholy.

> I want to keep working and I want to feel well.

It's impressive that you are working at all.

> Most of the antidepressants just put me in zombie land.

I am somewhat afraid to suggest this, but it might be worth adding Zyprexa to one of these antidepressants to see if it clears-up the "brain-fog".

> I have been trying some alterantive augmentation strategies which are not working too well.

Do you think that it might be worth taking N-acetylcysteine for long-term neuroprotection?

I wish I could help more.
