Thanks Brit. I was on 150mg trazodone, then 300mg zoloft, 375mh effexorxr, currently on 100mg trazodone. 1,000mg twice a day of depakote, 10mg of ambien at bedtime, and 375mg of anaprox twice daily for back pain. I see a GP and a counsler, My GP works with a Pdoc on consulting basis, HMO guidelines, ie: I've been diagnosed etc. The reason to switch back to trazodone is cost, older drugs are available in generic form. So my monthly cost went from about $40 for the effexor to $3.75 for trazodone. I'm not giving up as in exiting life, just think that maybe feeling bummed is 'normal'. This has been a long battle, I realize that part of it was my fault, I only went to the doc for depression, I loved the manic highs, until it almost cost me my job and family.
During a mianic episode someone at work said I threatened a coworker, that I do not remember. I do remember being totally pissed and saying I wish some one would pop him a good one. Looking back I can see that it was mania that had me drop out of the university, twice. I am printing your reply and taking it to the doc for my next visit,
I need him to refer me back to the Pdoc, or consult with her. Funny you should mention Zyprexa, as that is to be 'on the table' for next visit. I also usually feel like I am on the edge of a manic episode. Thanks again, See-ya JP
