> Hi guys!
>
> It is going on week two and I am feeling much better. Adrafinil (300mg 2x a day) seems to boost mood and motivation as well as provide mild, unwired energy. Adderall helps with focus and energy and at the lower dose I am taking (10mg, 2x a day) has yet to trigger migraines. I stopped taking the Inderal last week and no headaches so far. Hope it stays that way.

> My doc started me on Zyprexa when Buspar failed to help with irritability, anxiousness and low level depression. It is working. My mind is "quiet. I never knew how much "noise" was going on until it stopped. I do notice, though, that I have a new appreciation for sweets that could be hazardous to my weight. I am so excited about being back in a size 2/3 thanks to the Adderall, that I don't want anything to spoil it. I could stand to lose 5 more lbs. Don't worry - no anorexia going on here- just a very small frame (5'1").

> Could it be that the Zyprexa is preventing the migraines and not just the decrease in Adderall dose? Anybody got any comments on that?

> The true test will be at the end of the month, when PMDD may arrive. We'll see how effective these medications are when faced with PMS.

> Just a sidenote to the women: I have found that when I am more physically active on a regular basis, all PMS symptoms - physical, mental and emotional - are not nearly as intense. Walking fast, at least 1/2 hour a day, really helps. I have more available energy when I do this, too.
