I will close in saying that I had the start of another courace(sp) of what was supposed to be 12 treatments Last year in Very late May and Early July...unfortunately my anxiety levels were so da*m high because of no meds on board, I barely endured 6 of the scheduled 12 to be and then told my Pdoc forget it and to treat my anxiety and he agreed and while my anxiety is much better now...my overall level of relief is roughly only 60 to 65%. I am seriously thinking of mentioning to him that I would like to go back and give my old friend Parnate another go-even though it pooped out on me after 7 to nine months in 1993, I have to keep pursuing a higher level of wellness and functioning than I am now! I have to leave no stone unturned and I hope all of us here on PB and elsewhere can continue to do the same! Thats part of my 2% (maybe) more but in any case if anyone has any comments or questions I would welcome them!

My anxiety levels can be quite high also, so I hope that doesn't mean ECT cannot work for me.I too am trying to leave no stone unturned, but it's really getting difficult. I haven't tried the MAOI's, but I'm worried about getting on one of those and then finding out it causes problems, like more anxiety, or anger etc., then not being able to withdraw.
Sometimes I gotta wonder, does anyone, anywhere, ever take an antidepressant med for years and years and not have it poop out on them?
