Wow that's sad news, Scott. I had my fingers crossed that something at least half decent would come from that med.
I've been struggling to think of good ideas. Effexor makes as much sense as anything, I guess. Other than that I might have thought maybe Prozac+Ritalin, Prozac+Zyprexa+Ritalin, something that puts more emphasis on dopamine than your previous treatments did. I think the entire psychiatric community is off target by making serotonin their primary thingy. It should be dopamine first, norepinephrine second, and serotonin third, in my opinion.
Firing. I think there needs to be more firing. Not necessarily more neurotransmitters. But more activity. More shooting out of neurons and going to reuptake and shooting out more. Basically normal brain operation except turbocharged. Adderall or Ritalin could help accomplish that. I just think Ritalin is a way better med for psychiatry than Adderall is.
Add in maybe 3 anti-inflammatory herbs, maybes 2 or 3 antimicrobial herbs, and maybe 2 basic supplements to beef up the detox system, and I think those 3 strategies could make whatever meds you take get you a lot better results. But slow. Talking 3-9 months to see anything.
Hang in there!
