Scott,
Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. I've printed out your suggestions and will hang on to them to refer to.
>1. Increase the dosage to 80mg.
Obviously the easiest to try, and this is probably what I will do right away.
>2. Go get that consultation in Boston - Andrew Nierenberg at Massachussetts General Hospital / Harvard.
I know I need to make that trip into Boston. Thanks for the starting point.
>* Is there any history of mental illness in your family?
I honestly don't know. I'm an only child. Most of my relatives were much older than I so even if there were, I wasn't told about. I can, however, bet money on the fact that my late father suffered from depression, or at least dysthymia. The more I think back, the more I realize how many of the same symptoms he exhibited. He took Valium for as long as I can remember for the 'stress' of his job. He never hit the 'black hole' like I do however. Interestingly, maybe, is that I have one daughter with severe OCD and the other has just been diagnosed with ADD.
Again, thank you; and I hope amisulpride turns out to be the augmentation you've been looking for.
