Hi, everyone. I am a newbie. 25 yr old, male.7 yrs back, I was diagnoised BPD , OCD and was on Tegretol, prozac and clonazepam. tegretol and clonazepam was stopped by pdoc 2 yrs back bt prozac was continued till I stopped it cold turkey on jan,2011. I was diagnoised with tic disorder in dec,2010 by neuro and referred to my pdoc. Pdoc suggested prozac bt I stopped it as It was nt helping me with tics but it did help me with depression. Since then my depression has increased and so I consulted pdoc a week back and I am on duloxetine now. I am feeling good nw bt my tics r still the same. I have jaw popping, compulsive neck jerking and knuckle cracking. I hav problem of frequent urination too.

I want to try supplements bt I sdm afraid their interaction with duloxetine. My pdoc is nt much open to alternative meds. Can anyone please suggest me a how to go about the supplements way without risking to fall in depression.

Thank you

Hi

I suggest you read through some of our useful threads (pinned to the top of this board)

Because you have a complex diagnosis, I am just not comfortable suggesting anything as some supplements can interact with medications.

There are natural supps that can greatly help increase serotonin, which is in turn helpful with depression, but again, you need a doctor's advice on any possible interactions with your meds.

 

May I ask if you have ever had strep infections?

No.I never had strep infection.
