SSRIs are the only meds that work for me. The dose has been adjusted. SNRI's work on norepinephrine, right? What are the names of some?
The ideation has been my norm for so long, everyone is used to hearing it.
Thanks! |

What I do find kinda strange is the Ambien. Have you tried any other sleep med? Ambien comes with a lot of wiggy side effects.
And what about mood stabilizers?
Also: Do you drink or use drugs? I was tons worse when I was abusing alcohol/drugs. |
Yes...lots of responses!
I don't drink or use drugs. I have enough trouble being "normal"...what ever that is.
Mood stabilizers don't seem to do anything at all. Oh yeah...Ambien is crazy, but it beats the hell out of protracted insomnia. I have woken up in strange circumstances, but that's the only part of this mess that's the slightest bit entertaining. Ambien, alone doesn't always work, hence the Klonopin.
I also take Dexadrine along with the Zoloft. It was a strange combo, but it kept me moving and helped mood, for a while.
Thanks to those of you who were very helpful. I think a med adjustment is in order.
