Alrighty then. Good point Else. No, 25mg Nortrip is not worth taking. If one is to seriously take Nortriptyline and expect good results, I do not believe that is the way to do it. Sorry for getting off track.

My favorites, the ones I believe hold the highest potential for success, are Zyprexa, Risperdal, Adrafinil, Ritalin, Adderall. I personally would not go the mood stabilizer route until all of these had been tried first. And if you haven't tried Prozac, that one in my opinion is still the leader of the pack after all these years. It is especially promising when combined with Zyprexa.
