the newer antipsychotics, like the once-monthly Invega Sustenna I take, saved me from a life of insanity. So yeah, zi'm impressed.
Also, emsam is an MAOI-B, which gives very good results without, at the 6 mg dose, causing the same MAOI A side effects. Latuda, if you prefer oral antipsychotics, is out,
I took oral selegiline for a few months, and it gave me instant remission (although I also took it with DLPA, under the hypothesis this combo would overcome the lag time antidepressants have). I had depression for a year and a half, and craved sleep all thst time, before tsking it. I didn't need to take it after a few months.
Keep in mind remission from depression requires also investing in some serious life changes, some seriously tolerant and loving friends, and a huge heap of structure in one's life-- structure few on this board are likely willing to insist for themselves.
the meds go half way. CBT finishes the race.
> from the days of MAOI's and tricyclics, the main advantage they have with newer meds is it is much more difficult to overdose and have a fatal reaction. besides that, the older meds could work as well if not better than the newer medications they have out. and now they're saying that the future is in Triple Reuptake Inhibitors. i just think it's a joke. it is nothing more than combining the actions of medications we already have out today.
