I gave fluvoxamine a 2nd trial out of fairness.
It was not good.
- racing mind
- irritability / anger
- worse depression?
- heart palpitionsAbout the only thing it did was 'distract' me from the monotony of depression. I would not consider it to be a favorable state of mind.

Soft bipolar?Perhaps you should add low-dosage lithium to remain in the background as you try other things - if for no other reason than to help protect against developing Alzheimers Dementia later on.

Sorry Linkadge. Those are horrible things to happen when taking a drug supposed to make things feel better. I've had that happen to me so many times. I can relate. I usually reduce the dose by customizing if necessary to a point where the med/herb isn't giving me much problem. Then give it some time, try to increase. Well, if the med is wrong for me, it's going to feel bad even at a microdose. Then I just walk away from it and usually already have a next move in mind. But anyway, yeah, it sux and I'm sorry.

Did you take ativan or another benzo with it? Only ad that never had side effects from. I'm sorry it isn't working for you. What dose did you or are you on? Phillipa

I don't have the prescription pad!
I can suggest, but if the doctor doesn't agree with you, you're out of luck.

he suggested it.
I've taken everything, with everything else, at least twice. I don't know why I fool myself into thinking anything can be done.
My life is just painful every second. I just hate my life. Every second of it. Theres no relief. It just goes on and on.

Conciousness does not *have* to be painful (IMO) but my experience has been that it mostly is.

What about Nardil? I don't recall ever reading about you trialling it.
