    Appreciate everyone's answer and participation. I understand and comprehend quite well results of each medication will vary from person to person, but the data I'm trying to collect is self evident and working.

    Out of of just the five answers two particular prescriptions were mentioned. They were "sertraline" and amytriptoline". Now I can do a little research on these two types so I may discuss it with my doctor, but being you guys included some additional information on them and one possible side effect experience that sort of data will help me approach sertaline with caution, or not even bother taking the risk. There are plenty different types of meds available I can discuss with my doctor without wasting time entertaining them. Some doctors will prescribe one particular med cause he, or she either won't have the time to go over every med on the market, or may have an interest in trying to prescribe every patient on one specific med which may not work in the long run. This data cuts down some time and concerns. In my experience I've had doctors tell me that if a med didn't work they'll try another. WHAT? Okay, I get it. Gotta start some where, but a "marmite" type drug is not for me and could be very bad. Why waste my time and take the risk?

    Being that said, if someone reading this is taking a particular med they feel isn't working based on your answers that person like myself included can do the research and inquire with their doctor that particular med that is being mentioned the most to try. If one particular drug consultantly keeps coming up at a higher percentage rate than others and working then I too may wanna give it a try. Why waste time when time is precious for all of us. It could save a life, because in our state of mind an impulse second decision can be life, or death if a med isn't effective enough.

    That is the intention of this article. It's for research purpose's to search for a possible alternative. May also give the patient a little education on meds before a doctor gives you a prescription. Doctors are not gonna know how you may react to it as well, but at very least you have some power and say over what risk your willing to take rather than leaving it totally in your doctors hands.

    Now, if we can get some more participation we can see what else is out there working, or not working with more consistency than others. There has to be other meds with some higher consistency than others.

    Thanks

    This forum is not here for the purposes of research for your article. We are not medically trained, for one thing, and the members do not expect the information given to be used for any purposes other than talking with other people who understand this illness and to receive support. To that end, therefore, I am closing this thread and I ask that you do not try to get any more information from our members for any other purpose than what this forum is here for

    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
