Hi Pseudoname,
I remember reading here years ago one person finding buprenorphine was the one drug that helped them. Good luck with it.
Thanks for asking if I'm okay... I'm probably fine... suspicious biopsy but apparently some whopping percent of people have small benign thyroid nodules they don't know about that never cause them a problem, mine would just be an odd one that is growing too fast. But this sure is why I am back reading on the dr-bob website... been gone for a year or more but when someone tells you you -might- have cancer but you have to wait 3 months to find out one way or the other... well after 18 psych med free months I'm stressed out and back on prozac.
(+moclobemide last night which by the way was a cool combination, had a happy day today -- just don't ever try it at home without discussing the possibility of fatal reactions with your doc first).
Anyhow to your point about your brain wanting to be depressed... I know what you mean... sometimes I wonder if my brain simply likes changing chemistry over any one type of chemistry. That taking any drug produces some response that is better than the hum drum of either no drugs or a drug long term. Sometimes things are initially full of side effects so I stop them, right when I stop it I feel really good for a few days. Or conversely I start a medication and feel an initial effect and then right when other people feel better, say 4 weeks or so, I start to feel terrible (that was Paxil for me).
