this might seem like an odd idea. but it stems from my thoughts on how Cyproheptadine might have helped me in the past through its 5ht2c inverse agonism. Cyproheptadine helped soooo well. it seemed to target the problem directly. but doses slowly stopped working and i eventually got to too high a dose. 5 years since ive been off it, ive slowly regressed and Cyproheptadine still doesnt work for me.
ive tried so many meds over the past 5 years and hwvent gotten relief from any of them. ive felt nothing from most of them. same with my most recent prescription for lithium. but it might just need more time to work.
anyway, ive just been reading up on how meds affect the brain. and im hoping Belviq might either help me by desensitizing the 5ht2c receptors sensitivity, making it less responsive in a different way, but similar to Cyproheptadines inverse agonism. OR im hoping it might lead to Cyproheptadine working again by working opposite of it.
now im trying to figure out how to get Belviq prescribed, since it is such an off label prescription. i asked my pdoc to prescribe it when i saw him a few weeks ago, but he decided on Lithium since i told him i always have a "better off dead feeling" with no plan to do suicids, buy he said Lithim is the best at keeping one fron committing suicide. i dont think Lithium is what i need since my problens stem from my mood already being too flat, but i agreed to try it anyway.
anyways, im looking for some ideas on how to get the Belviq prescribed. it will be the Nurse Practicioner im seeing in a bit over a week. and ive printed off articles describing different research chemicals being helpful in treating Anhedonia. and Anhedonia is my main problem. i plan to bring these to her, and basically just talk about how ive tried so many meds that havent helped. and how its time to think outside the box. i dont think i'll be able to stand her saying no and just trying my on meds similar to what ive already tried. Summer is coming up, and im just dieing to feel better. i dont want to miss another summer of my life...
