> Nortriptyline and Strattera are similar in terms of side effects. dry mouth and constipation. The side effects are much worse from klonopin. But Klonopin is the only thing that helps my anxiety.I must have read recently a very interesting post by a guy called Sal4Army, or something like that, who suggested safe meds for constipation and dry mouth induced by psychotropic meds. Have you checked it ?
I think I will give Remeron a try to see what happens. I read an article on Biopsychiatry.com that related, if my undestanding was correct, Remeron usage with an increase of dopamine and noripineprine in the prefrontal cortex. This sounds good for my Adhd. Another possible bonus for Remeron seems the possibility in reversing the sexual dysfunction of meds. I'm not sure I'm having this problem with desipramine but to prevent is better than to cure ;-)
Incidentally, do you find that Klonopin worsens your constipation and dry mouth ? I have never had this problem with benzos, but maybe I just didn't notice it.
