If you've only been on meds for six months, it's not too late to taper off everything to find what really works. Don't give up on yourself. You may have to see a different doctor.

do not act in desperation

desperation is letting some one lobotomize you with electrical apparatuses. Regain your self control as it has never left you just have to implement it.

consider this: All the time growing up you were taught self control and reason and then poof here you are, done caught unawares. Well now you are aware so build on it.

I also have intrusive thoughts. I have always had mild Tourettes. The intrusive thoughts are OCD, I also take Luvox. like you I didn't have near as many issues before I started taking anti depressants.

If it was me I'd go off any medication they had and I'd go and see a lawyer if you're in any country where they can sue for malpractice.

Write a journal of the intrusive thoughts. Look at them and see if you can resolve them, ie are they legitimate thoughts or just rubbish?

If they're legitimate thoughts they deserve to be thunk. :D

But yeah, new doctor, lawyer, and start documenting. This is not okay.

ECT did not shock my brain back to normal and I do not recommend it. Meds can help. I have had problems with vertigo that seemed to coincide with diabetes. May be something you want to have checked.

no diabetes 100% healthy my main problem is this constant music in my head 24/7 that litterly never stops with combo of intrusive thoughts all this is going on at the same time i think im med resistance nothing works tried serequal made me worse they screwed my brain up ect or magnetic stimulation is the last 2 options tried 9 diffrent meds none have worked

    It's National Doughnut Day!Which three would you like? (never mind the calories, fat, or sugar content; just go with what you would pick if none of that mattered and whatever health issues you might have that would keep you from eating one in real life can be cast aside for this exercise as well... have at it!)
