BB, I appreciate your answer greatly. Thanks for giving it a go. I just know (in retrospect of course) that my ssri/snri wasn't helpful. They didn't address my symptoms, in *my* case--and I ceriainly refrain from generalizing this. By the end of my course of treatment I was using more meds to compensate more meds.
That happens all the time, and I ain't knocking it. It's not what anyone
wants, but there we are. We have to get by the best we know at any given moment. I believe that.I happen to need an AD after nearly four
months off. I tried. Yes, multi-pronged is good. Also, there is no known pill for
life.Was it Aristotle who said that only death was the cure to the illness of life? Maybe not him. I'll have to look that up.
I am hoping that too much selectivity hasn't done a whack job on my brain.
But I'm a mother, not a doctor. I just need to find a way to be reasonably alright.Dr. Phelps from psycheducation.org said a small amont of progesterone could be
worth a run past my pdoc. We'll see. But that won't replace an AD. Maybe helps mood dips.For some people, when things are amiss, they are both simply and profoundly
amiss. I want to start making better risk
choices. This is hard work. I barely understand this stuff.Yes, multi-promged, proactive is very good. I hope you are doing well enough or better in your life, playing music amd having more good days than bad by
far :-) I appreciate your out of the box
thinking.fb
