>My pdoc and I have tried *everything* except of course the Parnate. Ritalin is the ONLY thing that gives me relief, if only for a couple of hours. I live for those few hours. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has them. b/c gilmourr, you're right, stims are a real pain in the *ss and certainly don't give one continuous relief.
I had ECT and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. It was a nightmare to me. And in the end, it not only did not help; it made my depression/anxiety worse. And it somehow made my meds stop working. Before I had ECT I was on Lexapro and it was actually working a little bit. Now nothing works, or if it does, it only works for a few days. The only thing that was a positve result of ECT was that after I had it, I had a revulsion for alcohol. I used to binge drink once or twice a week. After ECT the thought of even a glass of wine with dinner makes me sick. But I can't tell you enough how much I hated ECT and wish to god I had not done it.
Thanks for your input gilmourr, and good luck with the Nardil, I hope it has not pooped out on you the way it did with me. You're right; if it does work, it's amazing. Take care,
Kat
Ive got a really bad disease
Its got me begging on my hands and knees
So take me to emergency
Cause somethin seems to be missing
Somebody take the pain away
Its like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
