Thanks for the response. I recently had a bunch of stuff tested at the endocrinologist and they said everything was in normal range. Strange thing is that I am continuing to gain a bulging and fatty midsection and have started having sweats several times a day sometimes. I also have not gotten my period back since I was on Amisulpride and my prolactin went up even though they said it was back to normal now. If I was not so depressed and immobile I would feel less hopeless about it all, as I would be able to think I could exercise and slim up the bulges. I have not gained any weight with it.
I have had ECT sessions twice already with no result. The SSRI's have not seemed to cause flare-ups but neither have they helped at all and I have tried several of them several times. More stimulating meds seem to be the most helpful and the ones I can least take. I have not tried tricyclics for years so I do not know if I would flare from them. My pdoc has not thought they would help me and so did not try them. He would if I asked and I was thinking about it. The problem is that when I did take them I was allergic to one and I cannot remember which one and the other I had a lot of side effects too. I do not think I was on them long enough to know if they would have helped. What is TMS again and what kind of center are you talking about? Do you have eating disorder and depression?
