Scott, that really sucks about the positive effects of Marplan petering out.
I'm going out on a limb and I hope I'm not derailing the thread:
Do you think feel that there are any nutritional factors that have influenced the success of any of the medications you've taken? I'm starting to form a theory that there are plenty of reasons why someone a) might not be able to get optimum nutrition to support the myriad chemical processes induced by meds b) they might not even be absorbing enough of said nutrients/cofactors/coenzymes/etc.
This isn't an either/or thing in my mind. It's just that I've noticed that a lack of certain things (e.g. magnesium, zinc) can lead to temporary poop-out symptoms which resolve after said nutrients are reintroduced in sufficient quantity for a sufficient amount of time. If my meds change or my supplements are not consistent (what a drag popping all those huge tablets), I don't get the optimum effect and I might not even make the connection between the to. If Vitamin X does not do anything on no meds or on Med A + B, I might not take it with Med A + B + C, or Med D. You get the idea.
I'm just throwing it out there. Your mileage will most certainly vary.
