> Then don't. You're not going to read yourself to a treatment that will work. As much as it sucks, trial-and-error is the state of the art for treatment-resistant depression. And really the one thing that could be an indicator of where to look for solutions -- namely decades of successful use by experienced clinicians -- you dismiss anyway.

Naltrexone is very similar to Buprenorphine, a med you said youve taken in a response to what i posted a week or 2 ago on an interesting new med in clinical trials. that med is a mix of Buprenorphine, and a new med that blocks the addictive properties of Buprenorphine, while letting its Kappa antagonism go to work. Reading about this med in trials is what gave me the idea to try Naltrexone, since i cant get a hold of any Buprenorohine. im not sure why youd call this weird, considering youve tried Buprenorphine in the past.Ive been diagnosed with Depersonalization as well as Depression, and there has been some success in using Naltrexone to treat Depersonalization.
and im not really taking these meds as a combination, in the sense you made it sound like. i just made sure there were no serious interactions and decided to start taking them at the same time in hopes at least one would bebefit me.
and no, i dont read other experiences with meds thinking i will likely react them in about the same way. i just made that statement because, other than some minor details, i just dont know much of anything about Tricyclic AD's
i think next time you need to ask so,e more questions before making a judgement.
