Absolutely sound advice, Andrew. I am fortunate that I have a Pdoc who is willing to think "outside of the box" yet thoroughly researches any suggestions I might bring to her. She consulted with a psychopharmacologist at a teaching hospital here in the Chicago area before agreeing to help me acquire and try Reboxetine. She went to quite a bit of trouble actually. I wish it had been the panacea I'd hoped for. I think I'll stick with my WB/Aricept/Celexa cocktail for awhile. If I experience any worsening of symptoms, though, I think I'll talk to her about Adrafinil.
Without this and another ng I read frequently, I wouldn't have known that drugs such as Reboxetine, or Adrafinil even existed. In fact, I learned about Aricept from reading newsgroups, which is now an important part of my treatment. It puts different medications and topics on my list for further research and potential discussion with my Pdoc. By no means, though, would I try new drugs without back-up research and professional expertise.
Great advice, Andrew.
