What do you pros suggest for me?

Posted by Enigma on February 24, 2009, at 14:45:10

I'm currently on (before I forget, ssri's don't work on my at all, zyprexa causes weight gain as bad as Seroquel, and Vivactly caused me to turn into the devil.) Also, I've tried almost everything else!

Nardil 75mg

pros: Only AD that get's me "50%" functional and keeps the deep, dark, suicidal thoughts away
pons: No doubt is causing sleep disturbance, insomnia, difficulty urinating, anorgasmia, not sure what else

Seroquel 400mg

pros: The only drug that allows me to sleep through the night (mostly)
cons: I have nightmares where I "leap" out of bed, or kick or punch (almost punched my wife once!) and the worst symptom for me, HORRENDOUS weight gain. Nothing I do seems to counter effect it. Some other BAD systems I won't get into.

Klonpin 2-4 mg

pros: stops the dysthymia from seroquel, helps relax me, helps with sleep
cons: none that I can find

Metformin

pros: none
cons: when you first take it, you get all sorts of "bowel"-related issues. Also, taking to supposedly to lose weight, but it hasn't dropped me 1 ounce.

When I could afford it:

Topamax
pros: Did a great job at dropping weight, now I can't afford it anymore. (I'm on medicare and have a coverage gap coming up, and this drug is $500 for 30 days worth)
cons: None I remember.

Thanks in advance.

Basically, to narrow things down, I might try Geodon for mania, and more sleeping pills for well, sleep!
