Thank you for your insight and of course, all of your support during the last week or so, when I started to go down quickly.
Today I have stablized from the freefall, as that was getting pretty close and luckily the 2 doses of Nardil have already ( I think) kicked in, thank God.
I took a Nardil last night and one this morning and it has eased some of the real severe thoughts. I also took an Abilify the night before, anything I could get my hands on to arrest the craziness. I have a huge cornacopia of meds, so I have to be careful about getting too zealous about what I might take. But I am chicken sh*t too, so as suicidal as I was feeling, I do (believe it or not) have a very rational and logical side, which did not allow me to follow through on anything permanent.
I saw my doc at 5:30p tonight and he wants me to start Lithium (300 mg BID) with the Nardil that I had already resumed. I was supposed to start it tonight but didn't get a chance to go back out to the pharmacy. I'll see him 2x week now that I got so messed up.
I hope the nardil continues to stabalize me and that this is just not a placebo effect. I may take 30 mg tonight...I can't even remember at what time I was previously taking NArdil...I think it was 30 at night, but i'm not sure...it is hard to be as vigilent as I once was with my meds...that takes alot of energy and interest and that is something I do not have right now.
I'm going to leave the ADD thing alone for now and try and get back to a baseline of sorts...
Peace and love to all of you, it's nice to know I have friends here, who are so smart and insightful, when I really need them. That's the best thing about a forum like this, complete understanding from kindred souls.
