Don't give up, I've had horrible times in the past also-including 2 1/2 months in the hosp. where I got 24 ECT (electric shock treaments) didn't help me much but they work great for many people. I've been bed ridden months at a time for more times than i can remember. I've suffered terribly with severe treatment resistant depression, ocd, anxiety, and social phobia-I wanted to die more times than i care to remember, i have contemplated suicide 100's of times (Thank God I didn't carry through on this) Tep, I'm just now feeling good after many,many years of a terribly miserable life...so don't give up-hopefully you will soon find the magic bullet for you too. I also know that this may not last for me...but i'm not going to worry about that, just going to enjoy each good day that i have.
Tep, I know this is a horrible, terrible disease, and i hate it w/ a passion. sometimes when things are bad i feel i'm being punished for something...i don't know what. All i know is please don't give up hope ( easier said than done i know ) but if a long time sufferer like me can be helped, you can also!!! Please take care my friend and let me know how you're doing.Wishing you the Best,
TyP.S. Yes, to answer your question i was on parnate 9 years ago and it worked well ( not as well as this time tho) until it pooped-out after 2 1/2 months. But this time we're doing things a lot differently, examples- i went off caffiene, taking plenty of vits/mins, and useing a good sleep agent ( last time i hardly slept at all) also staying at a lower dose-60 mgs a day.
