looking for positive experiences with this drug

i have intense thoughts and i don't know how to deal with them

still no benefit

too early to judge?

I have been on so many stimulating meds

my main diagnosis is TRD and i don't remember having major anxiety issue

but 3-4days ago i started having this tense feeling in my chest, dread, like something is bad is coming with tightness

im on bupropion, methylphenidate for a few months now

started cariprazine 3 weeks ago

the path is lengthy and expensive but the outcome is not guaranteed

what if i went through this path just to be rejected at the end

sorry if this sounds pessimistic

which one is more sedating? which one causes more weight gain?

i have terrible experience with serotonin meds severe emotional blunting and sexual dysfunction

my current regimen is activating and i tend to have a feeling of worry that something bad is about to happen a dread feeling

what do u think?

currently using synapse pro but i want something more fun

I'm in a pretty dark place right now and will be starting Spravato in September for treatment-resistant depression.

I know everyone's experience is different, but I'd really like to hear some positive stories to give me a bit of hope while I wait.

What improvements did you notice? How long did it take? Did it help you enjoy things again or make life feel more worth engaging in?

thanks in advance

we have been on 150mg for maybe 2 months but im still symptomatic. i don't know if there is subtle change that im not noticing. i take a lot of meds it is hard to tell which one is doing what

have u noticed a significant difference changing from 150 to 300?

you feel more dopamine and pleasure from things like food, games, TV series.. other things supposed to be fun

you feel more dopamine if u are more fullfilled in other areas of your life (study, work, relationships,...)

تعبت واني انضرب بواري من المطاعم

just wanted to share the good news

i feel excited

i don't imagine it will be a magical fix

but somethings to look forward to

so basically i suffer from depression which is mainly anhedonic with suicidal ideation

i have tried previously many serotogenic agents which only worsened the situation

i didn't tolerate a TCA before (imipramine) due to extreme sedation and constipation

also had emotional blunting persist with sexual dysfunction

it took so long to withdraw all serotonin meds and start me on non-serotonin regimen

currently i use : Bupropion, Methylphenidate, Lamotrigine, Cariprazine, quetiapine(low dose)

and also just finished my 2nd ECT course with 10 sessions

my psychiatrist decided the last 2 sessions will be better if done after a month

also he added to my regimen Clomipramine despite my history

I have another month for our next appointment

i wonder why he did that
