NFC:Have tried all kinds of anti-dep and they don't work. I'm not atypical...lowest dosages of everything, even non therapuetic, i have reactions to. I'm not physchotic, but have severe depletion of dopamine in prefrontal cortex of brain per a brain spect scan. Tried Emsam for three months and jaw and head pain to severe. Switched to Abilify and immediately felt energy back and some lessening of pain in head..after two weeks though all symtoms back as well as akistashia...Dr. put me down from 5mgs to 2.5 and I've felt like i've been hit by a train. Yesterday even experienced numbness/pain from chest down right arm...does anyone have any experiences like this? Do you NFC? Probably going to go off and back to natural dopamine (SamE)...can't take the side effects..you're so out of it on this crap or off! Where did my dopamine go???????
