I am in Australia. I hvae been taking Edronax for the second time since December last year, and I find it helps. I have tried most other modern anti-d's, and a tricyclic, and I either have no reaction or I cannot tolerate the side effects. I tolerate Edronax well, and it has helped to calm the totally irrational states I used to get into. Having said that I am a pretty complex case, so I would never expect any anti-d to work totally for me. So far Edronax is the best.
....and as Panda suggests, a benzo might be in your best interst, peut-etre? let us know, and all the best, chemistThankyou for that Chemist, I am going to discuss it all with my psychiatrist tomorrow. I cannot take benzos as I have a history of severe substance abuse. I think they call it an "addictive personality". It was tried when had maintenance ECT at the start of last year, I was on valium to help with the muscle spasms, and ended up totally hooked. I can only take them occasionally for sleep or a particularly stressful situation. It has been suggested to me by an ex-psych-nurse that beta-blockers may lessen the physical effects of anxiety, which would make the psychological ones easier to deal with. Currently I am on Largactil (anti-psychotic) for its sedative properties, but the side effects of long term use of it bother me greatly, so I am looking at other options.
This forum is great, thanks for the input!
