> Well, THIS is very interesting, and thank you all for writing. I've been a complete nut case. I NEVER cry, and while revisiting crying has been -- well, kind of nice -- the amount of tears I've been shedding has been out-of-control, and thoughts of suicide intrusive and scary.

> I'm pretty p*ssed off about this. My (Serzone) dose was doubled from 200 mg./daily to 400 mg./daily 6 wks. ago. Same time I started Topamax. I thought Topamax was the culprit.

> Topamax has also been interesting, in case anyone is curious. NOTHING tastes good. Everything tastes sour. Not sour like lemons. Sour like the beach towels you forgot in the trunk of your car over the 4th of July weekend. Yucky. I'm also clumsy, tingly, kind of stupid. Yeah, I've got it goin' on.

> I'm calling my doc in the morning.

> I'm so sick of meds. I just want to go off everything and start over.

> Anyone else, like me, who feels they've tried everything?

> Let's see if I can remember it all ...

> Lithium ... Nortriptolene ... Trazadone ... Valium ... Xanax ... Klonopin ... Prozac ... Paxyl ... Wellbutrin ... Effexor ... Serzone ... Topamax ...

> What's left?

> Has anyone tried a drug holiday and come through okay?

> XXX, E.Everyone deserves a chance at a drug holiday. In eight years of taking meds I have never had one as I cant stand to be depressed and only last a day or two. You must be young as the number of meds you have been on is not that many considering what some people go through. I t take s experimenting for resistant depressions to find the right combination. good luck.
