> HELLO, IVE BEEN ON WELLBUTRIN,ZOLFT,PAXIL,PROZAC AND OTHER OLDER ANTI-DEPESSANTS HAS ANYONE EVER TRYED STIMULANTS, LIKE DEXEDRINE,RITALIN, OR OTHERS, IVE BEEN SEEING THE SAME DOCTOR FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS AND STILL SUFFERING FROM DEPRESSION , PLEASE ANY HELP? CHARLIE
Like you Charlie, I've tried all the SSRI's. But
they all made me tired and I lost my libido. So
next I tried Wellbutrin. My libido returned--as well
as the depression! Next,before trying any psychostimulants,
my psychiatrist asked me to have blood tests and an EKG
to make sure my body was in proper health. It was.
So I began taking Dexedrine SR with the Wellbutrin SR.
We had to experiement with the dose for several months,
before I really felt okay. Now after 6 months, I
think I may have developed a tolerance to the Dexedrine
because I'm starting to feel tired and depressed
again. Hang in there--it's a long process finding the
right medication, and that might change after a while!
