Any And All Input Appreciated...

Sorry for opening another thread, so many I get dizzy, but I didnt want this question to get lost...realize none of us are docs or psycs, etc...but I have a question for your consideration...

I have recently, again, been trying out different Anti'Ds, hoping to find one that I can at least tolerate, with a view to starting treatment..yikes!.. Anyway, been having a helluva time...everyone I try (I try different strengths, whatever)...so far, it's been horrible...like coming down off a 3 day acid trip with a black beauty thrown in there for good measure, just awful...

Was talking to a friend of mine who knows something about such things, and he told me his teaching hospital employs another school of thought on these matters...

He says, maybe some people like myself, have enough serotonin and dopamine, whatever, and that's why I can't get on with them now...that when I do the tx, those levels will prob go down (but no one knows yet, it's not certain I'll need them) and that's when his clinic starts you on the antiDs's, not before treatment begins...

Drawback, of course, being that you have to adjust to them already on tx, but he says that worked for him, and some others he knows of. I would really like this to be true for me, cause I can't stand the thought of taking these dang things anymore...maybe I will be able to benefit from them on the tx...he says he could on tx, but not after or before...

Now, I've really tried, I know I'm not the warrior a lot of you guys are, compared to me, Niceguy looks like Sparticus, I know... (just kiddin Niceguy) whatdaya think?

duct tape?? i always wrap my head with aluminum foil;cuts down on radio waves from 'out there'...voices never mentioned duct tape..wonder if they could have saved that ear with judicious application -but, would the sunflowers be as brilliant?

pablo picasso had a blue period.....

[GoofyDad]

Nope. Thanks for the info - one can never be too informed. I had hear of spotting before, but I always thought that would be sort of lilac and yellow polka-dots. Certianly nothing blue, or weirdness like that. Hey, what about plaid? Or is that only in the Scotts?

[GoofyDad]

Good point on Picasso. And what of van Gough? Didn't the dude cut his ear of after a blue period? And doesn't anemia cause incessant ringing of the ears? Hear that gals? Start slipping into a blue period, best to wrap your head up in some duct tape (strictly as a precautionary measure) and get thee to the procrit man.

I heard something similar about Prozac and Zoloft. They have simpler formulations, less stuff to deal with. Because of their generic status (not sure about Zoloft) neither is promoted very much. A lot more bucks to promote the newer SSRI's like Lexapro where free samples and a hot looking reps can be found in most doctor's office.
