Well I can list my meds that I gave a long run
at. My basic premise on meds right now is that
if I can't stand the side effects after 1 week,
then it is time to punt.

I've given these meds a full run (either
got a response or held out for one for at least
6-8 weeks):

Paxil,Zoloft,Wellbutrin,Klonopin,Buspar,Lamictal,
Remeron,Adderall,Depakote,Serzone,Neurontin,Selegiline,Effexor.

The rest of the meds I tested for 1-2 weeks
and gave up due to side effects or ineffectiveness. A few I gave
only 1 or 2 days: Provigil and Mirapex.

I believe I will maintain Zyprexa for a while.

Anyways, I hope people got a little comic
relief from this. I seem to be reaching the
end of my psychiatric storyline after 2 years.
My heart goes out for those who contuinue to
search of the appropriate cure to tailor to
their needs.
