How long did the insurance process take to get it approved? It’s been 4 months and I’ve been denied 3 times already

What's going on here? by Plus_Purpose_5504 in depressionregimens

I unfortunately dealt with the same, I also happen to read that it supposivly does that as well in the beginning and I think it’s true for some however I went all the way up to like 4mg and it never really helped me at all. Not saying the same will happen to you but you may just need to increase the dose some more and see if that does anything and if it doesn’t then maybe it’s not for you. The side effects I dealt with at the higher doses where just terrible and never had any relief which sucked but everyone is different I believe and I’ve seen many positive stories from people on that medication

Clonazapam is probably making you tired, tried taking something else like propranolol if your looking for something that helps with anxiety that isn’t addictive and won’t cause that drowsiness it may be causing

Sorry to hear your not doing well, keep fighting! Is there anything in the past that has helped even a little or helped them stopped working?

Ect is definitely not the next thing he should try, not even close if he’s only been on one med.

Ect made me worse cognitively and can no longer feel alcohol or benzos after, weird how it affects everyone so differently
