I apologize Amy for the long post. Didn't mean to overwhelm you with so much stuff. It all is real important though.
I'm like you. Massive symptoms that flare up on their own. History of over 20 psych drugs and combos. Also did ECT. After all was said and done, I was worse than before.
The most important thing to me is to somehow remain capable as a parent. That means I have to reach for a drug, even though I hate it, when I know the time calls for it. Might be xanax, klonopin, zyprexa, milnacipran, ritalin, lunesta. They all serve a quick purpose at the right time. Can't tolerate anything on a day to day basis. But I can function and focus on two things...healing, kids.
Thanks to a brilliant Nurse Practioner I discovered something very foreign and weird to me. I am mercury and lead toxic. Mercury from amalgams. Lead is a mystery. My favorite drug is DMSA since it pulls those evil metals out. There have been times on it I felt so close to normal it was scary and giddy at the same time. Amazing. It's nice to know it is attainable. It is for you too. All our paths take different directions, but yours will lead to good things if you widen the lens. I never ever would have got where I am today with psych drugs alone. I would be in a coffin by my own hands. It was a mere Nurse Practioner. Go figure. Like I said, try things that don't make sense, look where you haven't look, do not scoff at anything. Admittedly, I scoffed at the whole mercury thing when I first found out. That was just totally ridiculous and unheard of. What quackery. Oh my how wrong I was. I hope you will have a similar awakening.
