I have treatment resistant depression / anxiety. Maybe lack of a better word, high sensitivity to SSRIs. I've dealt with depression and anxiety for years and nothing seems to really work for me. I cannot take SSRI meds at all. They throw me into a manic episode. I get so bad on those meds, I will pace the carpet for hours at a time. I am currently taking the highest doses of Remeron and Wellbuturin, along with major doses of Klonopin. These don't really help, but my Doctors throughout the years have tried all the meds out there on me, with no relief.

I've had a couple Psychiatrist try to push Electro-shock-therapy on me and there is no way in hell, I'm doing that. See, they have ran out of options and have nothing for me. I've asked for the old MAOIs, but they won't give them to me. Why not? I've tried heart meds for depression, that were prescribed. Those are dangerous too correct? I was on Depakote for a while and my tongue had swollen up so bad, I thought I was going to choke on it.


Prior meds: Prozac, Effexor, Seroquel, Lithium, Depakote, Stellazine, Buspar, Neronton, Zoloft and at least 20 others I can't think of at the moment. Why won't they let me try the MAOIs? It baffles my mind. This has been going on for years now.
