In reply to any hope left for a dysthymic?, posted by jonh kimble on May 20, 2002, at 19:02:53
Thank you all for your posts. yes, i am beggining to see that doing some of the hardest things in life like achieving goals is one of the best ways to get out of the rut. that may sound obvious, but it can be hard to have hope and motivation when you're dysthymic.
as far as meds go, i have tried ALOT of serotonin drugs with absolutely no response. this makes me hesitate to try prozac or mocolonmide (i know wrong spelling). and jon, where did you see the studies on prozac plus zyprexa? interesting that this combo has such a great effect on all three major monoamines. i am going to see a hospital based pschiatrist soon. any chance they would prescribe amisulpride? (i live in canada, its not available here) what info should i give him to make him more comfortable with the idea? all your posts are helpful. thanks
Oh ya, i saw my family doc yesterday and i asked to try klonopin for the social anxiety, and he said since i didnt have a problem with hallucinating that it wouldnt help. What the hell? maybe next time i come in with the flu he'll prescribe me amisulpride. jj
