Hey Everyone,
Everyone has been so amazing and I have gotten such great advise, maybe I should just list my medication experience and see if anyone has some thoughts. I'm in my 40's with a history of depression, panic disorder. My father was Bipolar II, mother depression. These are the meds I have tried. All of these combos I take with 0.5 of klonopin
Prozac 20 mg. Poor
Imipramine 200 mg. Good 3 months, Poop out
Effexor 350 mg. Poor
Imipramine 200 mg + Lithium 900 mg . Good one year. Stopped working after 2 weeks of night shifts
Wellbutrin 300 mg. Worst
Desipramine 150 mg. Worst
Imipramine 200 mg. Poor
Remeron 45 mg + Lithium 600 mg. Poor
Nardil 60 mg. Good
Nardil 45 mg. Poor
Nardil 45 mg + Ritalin 0.5 mg. Dysphoria
Zoloft 250 mg . Poor
Nortriptyline 150 mg. Worst
Nardil 45 mg + Coffee. Okay
Lamictal 300 mg. Okay
Nardil 45 mg + Lamictal 200 mg. Okay. But my liver enzymes were increased
Nardil 60 mg. Good.*Then I wanted to see if I was bipolar and I tried some mood stabilizers
Lithium 450 mg. Poor
Lithium 900 mg. Worst. Severe nausea, fatigue
Depakote 250 mg. Worst. Severe depression, apathy*Trying to recreate Nardil with new combinations
Zoloft 100 mg + Gabapentin 600 mg. Poor
Zoloft 100 mg + Gabapentin 600 mg + Provigil 100 mg. Poor, Palpitations
Zoloft 25 mg + Zyprexa 2.5 mg. Worst, Apathy, Tongue Twitching
Parnate 40 mg + Lithium 600 mg. Worst
Nardil 60 mg. Poop out*Nardil stopped working so I volunteered for ECT to see if it would get nardil to work again
ECT. Good, Still with anxiety
Nardil 60 mg. Good
Nardil 45 mg + Lithium 450 mg + Coffee. Okay
Zoloft 75 mg + Wellbutrin 100 mg + Lithium 450 mg. Okay*Closest I would come to recreating Nardil with Selegiline
Zoloft 75 mg + Lithium 450 mg + Selegiline 10 mg. Okay. 75% of NardilNardil 45 mg + Lithium 450 mg + Coffee. Okay
Zoloft 75 mg + Wellbutrin 100 mg + Lithium 450 mg. Okay. Still with leg edema
Nardil 49 mg + Lithium 450 mg + Lamictal 45 mg. Good*Finally my current meds
Nardil 49 mg + Lithium 450 mg + Lamictal 45 mg + no caffeine + Fish 2 times a day + no alcohol + strict sleep schedule + meditation + reading 1 hour before bed + exercise 5 days a week + church weeklyDo you think a retrial of lexapro/Effexor with 450 lithium and 0.5 klonopin with no coffee, sleep, omega III would work this time?
Any other combos anyone can thing of?
I know this is a long post. But any and all suggestions are appreciated!
