> I felt that this drug made me sweat like crazy, made my heart race, and caused some sexual impairment. And that was the SR, not the "all at once" dose. I geuss the upside is that it works thru your system by evening, thus allowing a calm down, go to bed phase.*chuckle*
I'm a freak of nature, I guess.
I'm back on "all at once", as you put it...and I have less side-effects than I ever did on SR.
No buzz, no jitters, a SLIGHT energy burst a bit after my dose, but shakes/tremor aren't noticeable, etc.
And I SLEEP SO WELL!!! Whee!!! ;)
(I take last dose no later than 7)> Maybe I should try it again, though. I think It is human nature to all of a sudden "realize" a whole bunch of possible new maladies caused by a new drug. I dunno.
*nodnod*
It IS human nature.
Consider trying Immediate Release, too. I know there're others here who responded better to that than they did to sustained release. :)> I know that taking just 5 mg of adderall at 10 am caused me to not be able to go to sleep till 5 am the next morning.
*laugh*
Stimulant.
You'd build up a tolerance over time and probably have to take more (I have no idea how fast this happens, but I'm pretty sure it does happen!)
> Why does XR cause sedaton if it helps increase the amount of Dopamine in ones system?*laugh* Don't ask me.
I'm just zipping thru this, trying to answer as many questions as I can before I run off to class.
I went back to college, that's why it took me so long to answer you. (sorry, by the way!)
Anyway, that I'd have to look up and stuff, I can never rmemeber which neurotransmitter does which.> This to me is perplexing. SL, you stated that if I upped my dose, I would feel less sedated, but you also said that this drug made you too sedated to really function.
Yes.
I never upped the dosage.
I found out TOO LATE that it would've been better at higher doses. That's why I always tell people now cuz it's something I would've liked to try.
> I need a little help here on that. I probably missunderstood.No. You didn't. :P
But I'm also weird. Heh.> When you went off of the xr , did you take prozac etc. ,as some other posters have suggested?
Ummm...yes and no. *tries to remember* I'm thinking not til I was off the XR. So I didn't take it to help with witdrawals, no. They were quite unpleasant, but the Nortriptyline withdrawals were more intense for a shorter period of time. XR was...lessee, felt fluish, dizzy, slighly nauseous, weak, etc, for about a week, it tapered off and I was fine..ohyeah, the muscle twitches. random muscle twitches, mostly in my legs, those lasted the longest, they were still noticeable up to 2 wks later, but they didn't impair me, I didn't trip myself or anything. ;)
You're always welcome! ;)
