In reply to any suggestions to ask my doc next week?, posted by JohnLA on March 1, 2012, at 22:08:26
Sorry for the anniversary. :-( I think we've all had enough of those.
FYI, klonpin generally can cause or worsen depression. So I think it has to be considered as a possible culprit in your battles.
Not knowing much about you, any ideas I have are based on what I believe are the best odds for success when someone has the history you have. In terms of meds, that to me means reuptake inhibitors of both serotonin and norepinephrine, separately, for broad spectrum and balanced neurotransmitter support. Read more about this in the writings of Dr Gillman at psychotropical.com. None of the meds singularly on their own will do that, except a few....clomipramine, SSRI + TCA such as nortriptyline+zoloft, MAOIs, savella, SSRI+stimulant. After my ECT failure, 12 bilaterals, the only two things I discovered that were actually quite helpful were savella or amisulpride or parnate, all in very tiny doses since I respond so sensitively.
For longer term more substantial gains though, putting other things on the suspect list and addressing them made more progress....because that's where all my psychiatric stuff is coming from in the first place.
