I try and present everything as I experience it; the good, the bad and the ugly. They're all part of this process and I don't think many here have escaped seeing alot of what I've seen.
But I know my attitude has been real negative and I have to watch myself with that since I don't want to take away any hope that others have. That is too important to keep as long as you have decided that med trials are the route to go.
I'm not against med trials, I'm against trying so many things without a plan or logic behind which med to try. The process gets to be too frustrating and feels like experimentation, not science. When they work, you don't care how the med is chosen, when they don't you get cynical and angry, like I have been the past few months.
Also, some times the meds can make you angry and that recently happened.That's when you're on the 4th or 5th med and nothing has made any difference in your situation.
Let see, since last year, I have tried without any success...Marplan, Risperdal, Seroquel, Lamictal, Cymbalta...a bit of improvement with Emsam, Emsam with Provigil (dizziness), now Emsam with Abilify...I'm getting a glimmer that something may be starting to work with this combo, keep your fingers crossed for me.
