Hey, Eric:
"What are you taking?"
Ha, that's a good one. Nothing in terms of psycho-pharmaceuticals, now. I guess you could say I'm "taking" anxiety-driven brain biology that has characterized my life since childhood.
Been "taking" it for 48 years. But in terms of meds, nothing now. Was on Brintellix 30mg for 5 months, but stopped in the summer. It was just doing not much. Before that--Viibryd, Serzone, Paxil, Prozac, Lexapro, Celexa, Luvox, Klonapin (useless for me), a bit of Effexor and Cymbalta, and a probably too short trial of Neurontin. This is over a 14 year period. I've been thinking of going the Nardil route for two years, but just never end up taking the prescription after I get it. I've also had Abilify on my shelf a bunch of times but never taken it. But my life is a mess. I certainly hope rTMS provides some relief. After 5 sessions, nothing yet; or nothing I notice. Still very overwhelmed, angry, unable to function. Feeling paranoid. I read the brain damage study. That's interesting. Hope it can reverse mine.Chris
