Which indicates the improvement was more likely from just the normal ebb and flow of these disorders than the meds.
I totally agree and that’s why I’m scared, if my body has done the majority of the work, am I going to throw my CNS into distress, by coming off the Brintillex???? That’s my huge fear and could spell the end of me pal. I ain’t got the fight left in me to go through another 4/5 years it will kill me for sure !!!!!
Apparently so:
Brown TC, 1979.
I'm one of them. SSRIs make me manic. The TCAs and MAOIs don't. It comes down to how individual biology meshes with the med.
Yeah but I was once okay with peroxatine and then venlafaxine. But now they destroy me why I need to understand and some real assurance that a TCA would potentially be the way to go if I can’t cope any longer…Sorry I know that’s the million dollar question and there’s no answer to it is there PDU ????
Then grab the opportunity with both hands. At my worst I needed to be hospitalised to switch meds. It beats facing the side-effects and increased anxiety and depression on your own at home where the mind has a lot of time to ruminate!
