Hey Guys--Thank you so far for the posts--they have helped immensely. I have cut out Wellbutrin entirely as it is pointless (and has other pharmacoaction) and will keep the Parnate at 60 mg /day for a while. The Mirapex does give me horrible headaches and tends to make me really nauseous, and makes me tired but not able to sleep. My pdoc added 1 mg Klonopin (which will work *somewhat* as a mood stabilizer--I'm so far from mood stabilizers right now it isan't even funny--but will help me sleep). I took it years ago and it helped. It is unreal how well the Provigil is working. I was able to work all day today for the first time in years.
I'm in the process of working on my PhD and that is why it is absolutely crucial that I NOT slip/get depressed anymore--I did while in undergrad and it almost cost me my future (it did to a degree). Because I want to be a professor/lecturer, I can't let this rule my life like it has for years now. And I've been on so many freakin' meds that haven't worked that my pdoc has decided to be quite aggressive with me...which is fine...i told him just to get me to a point where I can study, start training for triathlons again, and make plans with friends and KEEP them. I just want my life back.
So if you readers are getting a major sense of urgency and desperation out of my posts, that is probably why. Honestly, if these meds don't work, I'm pretty much out of options. Again, thank you for your input...once again, some science/facts/research on these meds would be awesome!
