I am still responding well to minocycline. Some days are better than others, but I don't expect a perfectly smooth response curve. The variability in mood is rather small, though.
I discontinued prazosin two weeks ago. It seemed like the logical thing to do. I did experience about three days of somewhat increased depression, but this resolved completely. Apparently, it was a withdrawal rebound. Perhaps minocycline operates upstream of those sites affected by prazosin. Who knows?
Although I am not yet experiencing the magic of full remission, I remain optimistic that I am heading in that direction. It is hard for me to gauge my state of illness sometimes. What I can say is that I am better than 25% improved but less than 50% improved. 50% is a big number.
Currently:
Parnate 80 mg
nortriptyline 150 mg
Lamictal 200 mg
lithium 300 mg
Abilify 10 mg
minocycline 200 mg
