Dear TOBY
Thank you for your input into this forum.
I suffer from dysthymia and ocd but am unfortunately hypersensitve to medication.
Could you please comment on the following.I have heard of a strategy of starting the patient on sodium valproate and them on the antidepressant. The antidepressant is supposedly better tolerated then.
How reliable is the strategy of coadministering a medication like serzone to counteract ssri induced sleep disturbance? Does trazodone also act on the ht2 receptor like serzone?
Is it pharmacokinetically feasible to increase the dose of a tablet but take the extra dose only every three days initially to make upward titration more gradual. Please exclude consideration of liquid medication.
Thanks so much Toby
I am waiting in eager anticipation for your response.
Best Wishes
