Rose I stopped them because they seemed to be adversely affecting my mood, and I read online that benzos (which fall under that class) have one of the worst withdrawal syndromes of any drug; so I got freaked out. I understand what its like not to have any friends or SOs to help you through your issues. My parents have good intentions but theyve mishandled me my whole life. Im an extremely solitary person, but I simply dont know what to do with myself. Ive always felt shackled to medication in the respect that they make life more tolerable but not actually any better.
I had some luck with ECT for a little bit, unfortunately its extremely expensive. It can restore your response to medications. If you can eventually afford a psychiatrist I would recommend augmenting parnate with a stimulant or tricyclic, it can be very powerful. Pramipexole is also good if you suffer symptoms like anhedonia/no emotions but it comes with a risk of a withdrawal syndrome. Lastly, psychedelics like psilocybin are a very promising avenue for mental illness, and I feel like they did gave me back some feeling in life (not all of it).
