Kind of sad huh?
I was surprised that Lyrica helped as much as it did. Even though it made me fluff up fast I stayed on it for a year. Pretty amazing.
Helped my sleep a whole lot and was a pretty good anti-depressant with few side effects. Did not feel toxic to my body.
Same thing with Ambien. I started it, not planning on takinking it long but it helped my sleep which sent the dominoes in the right direction for a change. I still take it and don't feel like it has any bad side-effects.
The EMSAM I am on has helped me exactly as i expected. No more, no less. It feels like the substrate I have needed. A solid base.
Dissappointments.....Any form of Ritalin (zombie effect) Dexedrine(not energizing)
Namenda has been apleasant surprise. Great anti-anxiety and does something really good for my sleep in a way that reminds me of Lyrica. I can forgo Ambien sometimes with Namenda. I would love to replace it altogether. It would be nice to drop some meds.
Thanks!
Kaye
