Hard to remember what all I have tried and for how long and also get a straight line of thinking.
I have recently (in the past year or two) tried Cymbalta at least 3 times and it did nothing for the pain or the depression and I made sure to try it long enough and at high enough doses.
As much as I can recall I tried Wellbutrin at least once, maybe twice but long ago as an adjunct to other drugs. I tried amitriptyline 34 years ago and only for a few day and then in the past year or two but at a very low dose as it is supposed to help my I.C.
Do you think the trying the nortriptyline would be better than trying the amitriptyline again?
So for tomorrow if you get to this I am thinking of either
Wellbutrin plus amitriptyline.
Or some mix with Geodon or Abilfy?Milnacipran and Ultram and Cymbalta did nothing.
Effexor helped a lot but I cannot take it.
Parnate helped the most but it stopped helping and I cannot take it now.
Amisulpride helped quite a bit but I was still somewhat depressed.
Small dose perphenazine helps only as a tranquilizer ans I can only take it occationally because my jaw muscles clamp up.
What about Pristiq?
Which leads me to Abilfy, Geodon either as adjunct or by itself because nothing else will help at all.
I am thinking if Wellbutrin can replace the Ritalin and maybe work better it might be the way to go for now.
Also Geodon based on my good result with amisulpride as apposed to Abilify?I am not sure if I will have problems with prolactin more with Geodon than Abilify? Of course there is a good chance I will not be able to take the Geodon or at least only a small dose like I could the amisulpride but it was enough.
So these are all my ideas some based on SLS suggestion of Wellbrutrin and on my previous results with certain medicines.
Sorry if this is confusing.
Any help would be appreciated and if it is not by tomorrow I can always start one thing or wait as I have an appointment with my PCP then.
