Good point Link. (I hope you don't mind that, the triforce be with you.)
I guess in a way I do blame myself. These new super selective drugs just don't seem to hold up over time to the older drugs. Speaking of revo-health and askapatient the highest rated drugs are the MAOis and stimulants. Even my pdoc admitted the MAOis were more effective. They just have more side effects they say. I just don't buy into that. She named one side effect of desipramine, constipation. Thats what prune juice and muscarinic agonists are for.
Abilify only works to increase dopamine in the prefrontal cortex. Not in the reward or mesolimbic emotional areas. If you wanna hit that hard your gonna need side effect ridden zyprexa or addictive stims. OR! Nardil or Parnate!
Hmm, I have some in the drawer from my grandmom... I'd have to ween off everything first...
I know all the diet restrictions...
hmm...
for now i'll stay the course, and try to be compliant, and I did mention TCAs but my pdoc is younger and doesn't seem to keen on them. Its my body though right?Oh I have some vics so I might try them tomorrow.
