Hi Eric,
Thanks! Good suggestions. Remeron made me gain a ton of weight, and Doxepin was just weird. I wanted something that would work immediately as an anxiolytic, so my pdoc and I went with a low dose of Seroquel (not my favorite, but it does help me sleep, and if it's temporary, I can deal).
Cyproheptadine sounds like an interesting antihistamine. I never tried it, but as someone who suffers from allergies and headaches, it sounds like it could be good. I'm going to talk to my pdoc about it at our next appt.
By the way, I'm realizing that Tramadol has been making me speedy/hypomanic. It's amazing how I lack insight while I'm going through something. It brings me back to our conversation about whether I'm ever energetic, to which my initial response was no. But, that's not true; I do get high energy, just not in a euphoric or "good" way.
Thanks again, Eric.
