Hi all,
I've been away for awhile.... last 3 months were not good at all. I failed with zyprexa, seroquel,lamictal and lexapro. I'm happy to report my mood has improved over the last few weeks with my new meds.
Zoloft 50mg, Nortriptyline 50mg and Trileptal 600mg.
I just pray I continue to remain stable and do not develop untolerable side-effects.....so far,so good!
Thanks to the insight I've gained from many of you, I was able to convince my p/doc to give my new meds a trial.
My p/doc wanted to admit me for another course of ECT..... first treatment was 1990 and although it may have helped a little, I was not willing to revisit the treatment.
I'm kinda puzzled at how much better I feel given the reduction in my med treatment? I guess sometimes, less is more. Fighting this illness for 25 years so I do realize the potential for relapse exists.....I'm going to enjoy every moment and again, thanks to everyone here for your support.Regards, Rick
