I think you are right, and I like that diagnostic description, BTW! ;)
I once thought up GCD-NOS (Generalized Cluelessness Disorder-not otherwise specified) in response to someone who was mystified by my absent-mindedness at work.I can't take "regular" doses of much of anything either. The highest doses of anything I have ever taken were probably Lithium and doxepin a LONG time ago. I got up to 1800mg/day of Li and 150mg/day of doxepin for a short while. Of course-I had to stay near a toilet all day because of the constant diarrhea from the lithium and had to change my posture slowly to combat the orthostatic hypotension from the doxepin, yuck.
Anyhow, I now take:
250mg Depakote (bedtime)
.25mg Clonazepam (bedtime)
12.5mg EffexorXR (AM first thing)
12.5mg Bupropion (AM first thing-it's tough to divide a 75mg bupropion tab into sixths)OTC/supplements:
25mg Diphenhydramine (at bedtime)
500mg L-tyrosine (AM-first thing)
250mg Vitamin-C + sublingual B-complex (AM-first thing)
1G of Flax oil with first two meals of the day.--Mitch
