Hi Amy,

Nice to see here. Sorry to hear that you're in such pain. We love your rants. Despite the fact that you're in so much pain. I wish you were back here in better shape, however we will take you as you are. As always! Trigeminal neuralgia is known as one of the most painful things you could ever experience.

There is a new Alzheimer's drug that is being used to treat major depressive disorders. It is called namenda. Using it for a depressive disorders is an off service way to use it. This drug has had good use what alzheimers patients. There are some studies that have found that they treat depressive disorders very well. There are also the standard medley of drugs. I myself have just started increasing my Nortriptyline, due to increasing depression myself.

I can certainly relate to the wanting to die. I have had many of these episodes over the last couple of months. However I have not had that horrific pain of the trigeminal neuralgia.

Thank God for your family and the psychiatrist to have kept you with us.

If you need information on the namenda please let me know. I would be more than happy to look it up for you and send you the articles.

So good to talk to again.

Love and hugs,
Victoria
