thanks for your welcome. Currently I am taking 8mg Edronax BD, Zyban BD (but for smoking not for depression) and 25mg Seroquel nochte. I've been on all the ssri's except aropax and cipramil, one TCA (mianserin) and the new, odd ones (serzone etc, all the ones with weird classes/no class). The seroquel is to replace Largactil which I was on prn but I'm worried about it's long term side effects.
My psychiatrist sees me twice a week for 45mins and does "talk therapy" as well as manage my meds. I do see a psychologist as well, but only once a month. She used to treat me but then we moved to a different town, so I see her occasionally to help give a different perspective on everything (she and the psych are in contact).
i know the guinea pig feeling well - i guess cos i've tried all the older drugs psych keeps telling me about new ones, or new uses for older ones (eg. he reckons they are testing Solian as a treatment for depression now) and i've been on a few as they came out, before they hit the pbs (he gives me sample packs).
feel like i am talking about myself rather a lot here!
how exactly does one not sound australian in an internet post lol? I lived overseas for a while so i may not use so much slang, possibly.
thanks again
