I respond so well to stims it's like magic, but then they seem to peter out or agitate me...but since I have a test to study for I may need it as I can hardly think clearly anymore... Thanks for the information!

> ScottScott,
I am on Dep. 250mg + Klon. .25mg at bedtime, Effexor 12.5mg + Wellbutrin 18.75mg A.M., with a couple of Omega-3's during the day. The Depakote looks like a permanent fixture for me I think. I haven't had a serious temper spell since I started taking it again (for the last three months). I am certain 500mg would be better, but I don't want the weight back. I have been keeping it at bay with double the CV exercise I was doing before. Pdoc did write for some Adderall last time and on days that I have some real challenges at work I swap out the little WB with 2.5mg of Adderall, so I can work around distractions. It works OK the first few hours (I actually feel quite calmed), but then leaves me buzzy and restless later on. The calming first few hours feel just like dex, and that's why I think a single 5mg spansule would be much better (will talk about that next visit). I have never tried sibutramine. It is intriguing to me however, precisely *because* it flunked out of depression trials. IOW, I wonder if it would be a good med to help keep me awake, without making me hypomanic, so I could possibly do without WB,ADD, or Effexor. I have a strong hunch that I could get by on just Dep and T4, but that would be a big fuss to get started.
