Hi there!
I finally got my Adrafinil, and being me, jumped in head first with two pills (one am, one pm) on the first day(today). I guess I'll just see what happens tomorrow....Meanwhile, I'm seriously thinking of tapering off the Wellbutrin and Celexa, I have never been convinced that either was doing anything, since I never really felt any improvement until starting Adderall. I'm also on 75mgs. Doxepin right now, prescribed for chronic pain. So, here I go playing doctor with myself...oooohhh....In my research on Doxepin, I found that it is successful in treating depression caused by anxiety. I'm toying with the idea that maybe previous AD's haven't worked, because the focus has been on treating depression and it's only recently that it occurred to me that I could have a sort of 'hidden' anxiety thing going on. I never really have full blown panic attacks, but I've always had these spells of extremely uncomfortable emotion, which I just suddenly realized was intense fear of 'something'. I think it's fear of the future, and I think I need to explore where this fear originated, since I've had it as long as I can remember. Anyway, sorry to ramble, the point is that I'm considering keeping the Doxepin and Adrafinil as my only treatments for a while. All disclaimers acknowledged, I have to say that I have absolute trust in your 'opinion' and in my ability to decide for myself, whether to base any of my actions on 'your' opinion!
Many thanks for all your time! CarolAnn
