Thanks so much for the thoughtful responses. I'm in a weird situation with my pdoc; i'm in this transitional living/halfway house type of thing for addiction issues, and my therapists & psychiatrist are already set up for me. I don't think I have a choice pertaining to who I want to see right now. I'm still relatively young & dependent on my parents.
Anyways, I pretty much forced my pdoc to try me on a MAOI(Nardil) at one point. I was also taking zyprexa at the time, and I'm thinking that just f*ck*ng masked it, the Nardil I mean.@Catling yeah, the constant trial of ssris/snris is how it goes. It seems like I'm stuck w/ having the option of two classes of medication, which I both dislike. She(the shrink) takes a pretty conservative, unimaginative route with her treatment methods. not gonna rag on her anymore though.
@Beckett She treats rehab patients. I'm definitely a stand-out in the realm of that; i'm a f*ck*ng headcase compared to those people. :p Atypicals actually work pretty decent for my anxiety/OCD objectively. Though it seems like I function more optimally, it's at the expense of feeling like I have half a brain all the time. I'll never get over the way they make me feel. They slow my thoughts down & make me more 'detached' which is where I think the therapeutic value comes from.
