thx, that's good to know someone else had a bad reaction. I took Cytomel a long time ago & I don't know how it affected me.
> What else are you doing?Getting more & more serious about giving up - I've never tried before but I've wanted to die for over 20 years.
Currently on meds that as I look at my logs there was never really a certain improvement = 400 Lamictal, 300 Wellbutrin, 20 Celexa, 2mg xanax, and then the 25mcg synthroid. Almost everything makes me worse - especially antipsychotics. The only thing that helped was ECT actually. But not for very long.
(and I did order Valdoxen overseas = also made me worse.)
Rapid cycling = very treatment resistent.
The only thing I can think of is VNS. (my dr. says we've pretty much come as far as I can. so just exercise, etc). I know it isn't recommended because of its low success rate, but electrical stimulation (ECT) is the only thing that helped.
