Hey Ritch,
I make sure to read you posts ... you seem to be a wealth of information and experience. I have try all the traditional meds, moved on to the non traditional meds, tried ECT and now on stimulants/benzos/high fish diet. I really have on found relief with nardil, ECT and imipramine+lithium .... all of which I have difficult tolerating from side effects .... mainly unable to hold a relationship from sexual dysfunction and difficulty with work from the memory loss.
How do you deal with the all this suffering that this disease inflicts on us? Any good coping strategies on how to accept this painful life ... not being able to hold relationships, difficulties with work, severe side effects from meds, broke family, etc?
Thanks.
Jumpy
