The word desperate has finally emerged.
Two paths: maoi's for atypical depression
Opoids for endogenous depression.
I'm not a flippin' doctor. I am tired of med trials. I have a son. He's young. But I've been depressed his entire life in one form or another.
I responded really well to tramadol. So well, in fact, that I alarmed everyone. Not because of mania, but somehow it was only to affect pain, not mood. That
was weird, and I'm still digging out of the shame I felt. Wiki says endogenous
depression responds to synthetic opoids
but treatment is usually withheld due to
cultural reasons.I've had atypical, my major break was melancholic, I can slide into atypical, but
lately, I have little positive mood
reactivity. It could be the emsam. I can get out of bed now for longer periods, but damn it's grim.I am at a complete loss. With some recent nardil success at babble, despite
my fatigue, I think it looks good, but I haven't come across any women on the board using it.Mostly parnate, which is energizing
(good), but also, maybe, aggitating. I would love to be stripped clean of a lifetime of anxiety without bludgeoning myself with benzos.I don't know what to do. It's very difficult to forward any maoi agenda with
my current doc. And frankly, while I could build a case for the synthic opoid, like yeah. Anyone taking that seriously?Oh dear. This coming week I have an interview by phone for Stanford mental
health again plus a long planned consult to their pain clinic. Plus my pdoc is pulling my husband into our session. The last time that happened was just awful.Crumbs. Same song. I don't expect advice. Thanks for the ear.
