Andrew -
Thanks for the idea. St. John's was the first 'med' that I tried - I think it was 300mg tid of the standardized type. Tried it for at least six weeks. Didn't notice any effects... Might be worth trying again w/the adrafinil, but given the long trial period required, I think I'm gonna try the low dose effexor xr (at 37.5mg/day) first, since I already have some.
Hoping that maybe I can get the mild anxiolytic effect I had previously, and the dreams were nice... And that the adrafinil will counter the negative sedative/cognitive effects... Overall, hoping it'll be similar to how the adrafinil alone felt, when I took it after the prozac trial... That was definitely the best I've felt in years - wish I knew for certain if the prozac was a factor or not...
Thanks again for the idea, I'll definitely add it to my current list of options. Maybe next, if this doesn't pan out... If you have any other thoughts, please let me know. michael
