Since 1994 when I was diagnosed with GAD, OCD, and dysthymia, I have been taking drugs like Nardil with bentazepam, in 1998 Nardil was quitted of sale in my country and I begun to take paxil with xanax. I was relatively ok, until 2003 when I developed an "Irritable bowel syndrome" and I begun to take sulpiride 50mg two times a day along the paxil and the xanax, but it never was like before, since 2003 I have been mild depressed, and in March of 2006 I begun to try different treatments for the refractory dysthymia without success (effexor, nardil again, citalopram, escitalopram, prozac, anafranil, and many more), also during the nardil trial I developed insomnia, so my psych added trazodone 50mg and distraneurin 2 pills before bed.
After all these failures, since three days I am taking fluvoxamine 100mg per day along with xanax 2mg per day, sulpiride 100mg per day, and for the insomnia 50mg of trazodone and two pills of distraneurin.
After read this article:
http://www.biopsychiatry.com/dopamine-d2.htm"The present study aimed to determine whether, consistent with data from animal studies, the clinical antidepressant action of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) is reversed by acute administration of a receptor antagonist selective for D2-like receptors in the mesolimbic dopamine system."
I am very confused cause if the antidepressant effect of the SSRIs is reversed by drugs like sulpiride, so what do you advice me to do if I can't stop taking sulpiride because the pain caused by the Irritable bowel syndrome is insufferable, and I need to take the SSRIs cause I suffer from GAD, OCD and refractory dysthymia, so:
What's up inside my brain? And what can I do?
Also what's the difference inside the brain between a person with GAD, OCD and dysthimia but not with Irritable bowel syndrome, with me?
