Hi Scott,
Have gone up to 80mg. However, typing this my anxiety has got worst again and the suicidal thoughts and constant need to keep walking and walking (anxiety) started again.
Was feeling dreadful and my mother forced me to take zyprexa the last few nights as I was feeling increasingly suicidal.
I have lots of energy on the Anafranill but its like an anxious kind of unfocused energy. Feel like a scared child thoughout the day and then weak and apathetic in the evening.
I wouldn't be typing this now if it weren't for the Zyprexa I'd be sitting in my room thinking up ways of killing myself.
Zyprexa helps a lot but I don't particularly like how I feel on Zyprexa either but at least I feel a bit more hopeful after I've taken it.
What antidepressant is the least likely to exacerbate anxiety? I've tried Nardil before and although it didn't seem to be too bad anxiety wise, it did diddley squat for my depression.
I also wanted to ask you about Deep Brain Stimulation because I seem to remember you saying that there had been complications during the trials, is this the case?
One more thing, your cocktail of drugs, I know you've told me in the past and I know they work together but what does each drug do for you on it's own? What does Nardil do for you on it's own and then what does the tricyclic do for you on it's own?
