I've never been depressed for a 24 hr. period. The only times I remember feeling sad for a few days were during times of mourning, which of course is healthy. And even that didn't last a week.
I've tried Neurontin, which works. Yet it tends to make my speech monotonous at times, in a way I really can't compensate for, because it also makes me feel slow in the way my tone becomes. It slows down my thinking in a way Klonopin doesn't.
I see a very good psychopharmacologist, and have been for a year and 1/2. Yet it barely gives me Klonopin prn, and even so he doesn't offer me it prn in regular frequencies even when asked to.
I've recently tried Atarax, and it gave me the worst nightmares ever, so I stopped. I'm seeing a new psychopharmacologist soon. He happens to be friends with my current doctor... once you enter an elite bunch of doctors, chances are throwing a dart at one of them on a map will land next to your current one here (at least in Boston anyway).
He's going to give me a 1 hr consultation and then refer me to another psychopharma in the hospital. So he must be really good if he thinks giving me a 1 hr consultation is going to give me something more than simply refering me to the doctor he'll refer me to afterwards.
