Yeah, I know where you're coming from.
I got my grade 10 on Celexa. Its kind of
a mixed bag, cause I never could've pulled
it together to practice in my depressed
state, yet the celexa did make it somewhat
harder.You see whenever you raised Serotonin there
is a corresponding drop in dopamine. Dopamine
is responsibe for fine muscle control, spatial memory and music apreciation.You could *try* the following which worked for me when I took my exam. Try taking 2mg of periactin the night before. This is an antihistamine with serotonin receptor blocking properties.
It blocks the 5ht2a receptor which when stimulated can cause muscle rigidity etc.
Note, if you were suffering from any OCD
tendancies this may make them worse but
if it was straigt depression, you may be
fine. Periactin is over the counter here
in Canada, I think it is perscription in
the states.
