> Hi Lorraine. After a couple of weeks of no deep depression, but also no motivation or energy, I added concerta Friday, and felt okay. Saturday I increased the prozac from 20mg to 20mg, 40mg every other day. Yesterday was sort of blah, but today I totally totally crashed. I had to work for a couple of hours this morning (photo shoot) then went back to bed for most of the day. I think I am not going to take the concerta tomorrow; I'm sure that between concerta and oxycontin my body is feeling pushed and pulled. I don't feel anywhere near the way (almost normal) I felt when I was on just on nardil and it was working.

I would try concerta again, but something happened with the three drugs that sent me plummeting. So I'll cut out concerta first and see if I feel better. I also have a fear that maybe I am becoming habituated to this dose of the OC, and it is no longer as effective. Or maybe I just had a horrible day that will pass.

Hi Shelli:

I am keeping a mood chart now. I adapted it from a bipoloar med chart that the NIMH put together. I find it so hard to tell what is affecting what. Am I cycling? Are my break-through episodes just down cycles or event caused or is my medication not working? Anyway, time to start charting is what I decided. If you want to send me you email address, I'll be happy to forward the chart form to you. It might help.
