Hello. I get to go see my doctor tomorrow and I must say that the past 3 weeks have been absolutely horrendous for me. I am 27 and I have had atypical treatment resistant depression w/ poor memory, difficulty concentrating, low mood, drive, motivation, enjoyment, non social, low energy, and to a lesser degree anxiety.I am on Parnate now, 20mg. 30mg has led me to have a numb hand for an entire month so I cannot go higher than 25mg. Sensitive to meds.
I also take ritalin 2.5mg 4 times daily, and gabapentin 300mg twice a day.
These 3 meds have been some of the very few out of many that have been able to help.
But please let me know what else I can try because one of my symptoms that I have had for ages is burning pains in my head and it's often the worst when my depression is the worst. It's been very bad the past 3 weeks but better lately since I quit taking valium.
What can I add to my mix that could possibly help? My doctor could use suggestions as he is more versed in SSRI's and non MAOI type meds but it's too hard to find a doctor who knows it all these days. Feel free to post more than just one suggestion if possible. It took a lot out of me to even come here and post this. I feel like a tiny fraction of my former self and I don't know why things got worse over past month.
Please try and help me
