jonh,
Dude, I've known the agony that these types of illnesses can bring, and I'm sorry that your parents aren't more educated about the reality of mental illness. Many people are ignorant about these things. Hang in there, bud.
What meds have you tried (for at least 5 wks?) Have you tried Nardil and/or Klonopin? How about Neurontin, Gabitril, etc? The Nardil may take care of the SP and Depression at same time. Dude, SP & depression are htreatable by meds for many people, it's the side effects that be tough for some. There's got to be something out there for you, if the above ones haven't worked. Don't give up.
Remember -- these illnesses are PHYSIOLOGICAL. There's nothing wrong with you as a human being, just an unfortunate and unlucky problem with brain chemistry. I know that brings small relief when dealing with them, but it gives hope b/c chemical imbalances can be repaired, if not fixed completely. Help will come. Just keep your head up, we're here for you.
