This is the type of thing that I find so demoralizing. Why should I have an atypical reaction to so many drugs? For now, I am going to remain on these four drugs and give it another 6 months to work better than it is now. I feel that establishing a homeostasis is important. The problem is, how do you know that you are using the right treatment to invest so much time in it?

It took at least four months for the addition of Nardil to take effect. I have seen this before with Nardil in a few other people posting on PB. It is has been seven month, now, and I have been feeling the best I have in many years. I have a long way to reach full remission, though. I wouldn't be surprised if it took another year. My guess is that increased severity and increased chronicity indicate a longer period to attain remission. Why shouldn't we expect that it would take longer to recover? I imagine the brain of such a person has a lot of ground to cover in order to produce the type of neurogenesis and recovery of brain tissue that might be necessary under such circumstances.

Scott...

I thought I saw a post recently where you said that after an extended time on lithium it began to have an antidepressant effect that you had not expected?
