> what is your current med regimen scott? as for the remeron, it made me feel really out of it. it made me feel uncoordinated and uncontrollably drowsy. thanks for the suggestion though. the drug i haven't tried, which i would like to, is nardil. i read a lot of posts on this board raving about its effectiveness. once i stabilize on a lithium dose, i think i'll wean off the effexor, wash out, and give it a try.
Hi Craig.Currently, I am taking:
lamotrigine (Lamictal) 200mg
imipramine (Tofranil) 300mg
atomoxetine (Strattera) 80mg
aripiprazole (Abilify) 10mg
NADH (Enada) 10mgI am very confused today as to what is going on. I felt better for about 4 days. Last night I crashed and felt pretty poorly first thing this morning. However, I discontinued NADH on Thursday to better elucidate which drugs were contributing to the improvement. Unfortunately, my apartment is to have some renovation work today, and I am doing everything I can to bring up my level of function. I would rather have given things a few more days to see if the NADH was really important. I took NADH 10mg when I awoke this morning. Perhaps it is an unrelated coincidence, but I am feeling better now. I don't know what to hope for.
Nardil is a good drug. The diet is not really all that restrictive. I have been on MAOIs on and off over the years, and had only one negative food reaction. I inadvertently bit off the end of a pepperoni pizza. Pepperoni is a definite no-no.
Good luck.
