I added lithium 300 mg/day earlier this year. It provided some mild antidepressant effects and smoothed out the "mood drift" that I would often experience. Prazosin has made a big difference for depression since I began taking it a year ago. It was chosen by my doctor because I reported having had a childhood marked by chronic traumas - "developmental PTSD". More recently, I have been experimenting with higher dosages of prazosin and adding minocycline. Minocycline does a variety of things, including neuroprotection, reducing brain inflammation, and glutamate suppression. The latter effect is thought by some to work together with Lamictal to improve depression.

Bupropion dose nothing... N-acetylcysteine sounds interesting and I will put on my shopping list..

If I last that long until the Doc gets back from holiday, the last few weeks I have been in a fetal position in bed crying, can't even be bothered turning the tv.. I'm a bit drunk right now that's what gave me the motivation to get out of bed and reply, alcohol seems to be the best for elevating my mood (Baclofen was almost as good but the tolerance gets really bad really quickly. (But yeah, with alcohol no half life & toxic I know) I am strongly considering looking for a lethal liquid recipe. Put it in a syringe and go to bed with a couple of juicy pizzas and chocolate and inject the poison because every second feels like an hour of hell.. (possibly cos of the high dose amphetamines combined with the parnate has burned the $hit out of my DA & NA receptors... I dunno.

Maybe I should go back into hospital again,,,, I don't think it helps much but its so hot where I am my hyperhydrosis is so bad I'm like a wet sponge all day and I don't know of any anti-cholonergics that help H/H with a half-life of more then 2 hrs
