In reply to Hospital over, but med. advice seriously needed, posted by gpznos on January 26, 2013, at 7:13:30
Hi gpznos,
What other meds have you tried? Have you been on SSRIs or SNRIs or MAOIs? It does sound like the Nortriptyline is not doing anything for you. Maybe a different TCA would help, but in my personal experience, I failed one TCA and then none of the others worked either. But again, that's just my personal experience. How about Wellbutrin? Many people are successful on that.
It would really help us all to know what other, if any, meds you have tried.
And this is just an fyi, and it probably has nothing to do with how you are feeling, but I had ECT too, and afterwards, I felt really weird and kind of numb the way you described. It was a very unpleasant feeling. Like I said, probably not related at all, but I just thought I'd throw it out there. The good news is the weird feeling went away after a few weeks.
Post back and share with us your med history, it will really help to know it. And there are lots of really smart people here who will be able to offer good advice. :)
