Hi Ed,
> You were a student? What subject? Do you think you'll go back when you're feeling better? I dropped out of college but I went back after a year. How old are you btw? I'm 20, I do Pharmacy.
Yes, i studied electrical civil engineering at KTH. I'm 27 so i believe my days as a student are over, it's sad. Well, the age maybe doesn't matter but i know that the risks are high for a relapse, it have happended before. And i can't move to Sweden back and forth as my mood swings, it's not practically nor economically defendable. I also feel better being 'home'. You study pharmacy, that must be practical knowledge when suffering from mental illness. You can outskill your pdoc when it comes to drugs :)
> I think the Aurorix is worth a try. You could add the trimipramine (Surmontil) if the Aurorix was inadequate on its own or if it caused insomnia. I've never taken Surmontil myself... although Surmontil is an antidepressant it's used mainly for insomnia in England.
> Regarding antidepressants, I don't know what else to suggest because I don't know your symptoms or what you've tried before. Please will you tell me :-)Sure, i suffer from depression(atypical?), anxiety and social phobia. I've tried:
Seronil(fluoxetine)
Effexor
Remeron
Seroxat(paroxetine)
Anafranil(clomipramine)
Edronax
Buspar
Zoloft
it should be all, can't remember exactly.
> I'm naturally lazy but SSRIs make me worse. I take the Cipramil mainly for anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. The lofepramine is better for my depression.So how are you doing now, is it under control? Can you study?
> PS. Hope your new psych is good!
Thanks!
