I'm happy to help, I hate seeing you struggle with these medications.
>***I did the best I could. I felt powerless, trapped, miserable, muddled. I agree with you now, though.
Don't ever feel trapped with these medications. You have the power to stop them and try different ones.

Can you describe what the akathisia was like. What types of intrusive thoughts did you have?
> ***To be honest TCA's kind of scare me.
I am convinced you would do better on a TCA. I am very sorry about your mother passing, but I think a TCA overdose is a rare thing. As long as you follow proper dosing guidelines you would be perfectly safe.
Also, there's Mirtazapine.
