>What do you think of IV administration?

The effects are strong initially, but wear off in 2-3 days. I got pronounced side effects as well-mostly dissociative.

>My doctor keeps suggesting DBS

This may be a viable option. Have you looked into it?

>I am not very optimistic about my chances to respond to treatment well enough to have a rewarding and productive life.

New treatments are devised all the time, which gives you many chances to treat your illness. Advances are made all the time which afford you the opportunity to better treat your illness. I guess the key is finding a current treatment that makes you feel comfortable enough to wait for that breakthrough that works for you.

>I am haunted by the many years of pain and struggles of my past

Would you say there's a bit of PTSD you are contending with?

Do you dwell on these thoughts?

Can you think of anything you've gained from your struggles?

When I think of past breakdowns and the pain of mental illness I've suffered throughout the years I recognize how much stronger I am for it. I sometimes laugh about craziness I've experienced-like the one time I thought my heart had stopped beating. I was walking around like a zombie and thinking of myself that way is somehow hilarious to me.

>I feel doomed to die this way.

What is 'this way'? How do you feel everyday and what kind of thoughts do you have?

>There is nothing for me.

Some malfunctioning part of your brain is saying this.

You also have me.

>Panate 100 mg/day
desipramine 200 mg/day
Lamictal 200 mg/day
lithium 450 mg/day
prazosin 30 mg/day

Have you tried switching to another MAOI?

Have you tried Imipramine?

What happens if you raise the Lamictal to 400 mg and drop the Lithium?

Have you tried Opioids?
