Hey John,
Why Zyprexa when there's Geodon? Haven't you experienced weight gain from Z?
Good to talk to you again...
BTW - Adderall is my choice. Adrafinil didn't work for me but it may have been the wrong combo of meds at the time. Any combo with an SSRI has been a bad combo for me. More depression, no energy - sluggville... then the occassioanl mixed state which is espescially ugly.
I am Bipolar and have to be careful with stimulants, or I will cycle RAPIDLY. My current mix, which is working (for now) is Neurontin (extreme low dose - 500mg day), Geodon, Adderall and Valium. Oh, and Aricept for concentration problems caused by my illness. I feel pretty good right now and it's been a long time. Hope it stays that way.
Speaking of Geodon, (stay with me here...) I still think Sulpiride is superior to any neuroleptic I have taken. I may switch back and have it sent from the Philippines from my doc there. Geodon, when my insurance runs out, is insanely expensive here in the US.
