Thanks,
Currently taking Parnate/Nortriptyline/Lithium Orotate.
Tried Lacmital, and Tegretol (had some petit mal seizure while on trazodone and receiving the 70 plus ECT's during 1986 which resulted in the mentioned car accident that killed my mother) in the past without big success.
Atypicals antipsyhcotic like Abilify sent me into even a more severe depression.
I tried Namenda (memantine) without noticing any affect or effect. I looked into getting into a Ketamine study at the NIMH in Bestheda, MD, but didn't want to go off the meds and I have a falling after only being off meds for a day or two. I've cheated (even though being risky) when going off/on different meds like Nardil to Cymbalta and Cymbalta to Parnate without any washout at all and started the next day without any serotonin syndrome effects.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Regards,
Jeff
