Thanks for copying and pasting the bit about Zyprexa.
I will still order the book as it is worth a try, anything is worth trying. I know that I have always had problems getting close to people but I have never really thought have that causing my depression more like the other way round. I feel that my depression sort of stops me from feeling able to trust people with my feelings, after all I have a lot to hide and you can't go round telling people you feel suicidal all the time. When my depression was completely in remission (when antidepressants actually worked in my 20s) I still sort of was a bit of a loner and still a bit wary of people but I was more able to connect with people and feel as though I was on the same planet at least :-)
When I was in my 20s the first antidepressant I took prothiaden a TCA and that got my depression totally in remission, I felt so good. Even when I came off them five years later, I didn't feel as bad as I had before I had taken them. I have tried prothiaden this time round and it hasn't been effective.
I'm glad the Emsam and provigil is working for you. I haven't tried provigil but I have tried Nardil which seemed to make me feel worse (less anxiety) but more depressed every time I tried it. I haven't tried provigil though.
Lately, I just seem to feel as though I'm suffocating all the time, well it's like I'm holding my breath all the time and my whole body feels so uptight, contorted uptight, no matter what I do the feelings seem to be there. It's really unpleasant. Do you ever or did you ever get those sensations?
