I have traz I can take for sleep, and like it ok, except when I wait too late to take it or take it every night (at least when not also on anything else). I did notice once that when I was taking phentermine by day (which agitated me greatly alone) and traz at a sleep dose by night, I actually felt very good. Is that reason to think it could make Wellbutrin or Ritalin work for me, which both agitate me otherwise?
If so, do you think a sleep dose of traz (25 to 50 mg) could possibly be enough? I'd take the traz at night, right?
Thanks much if you have any thoughts on this. I have long wished Wellbutrin would work for me (tried for depression/lethargy), because of the lack of weight gain thing. And Ritalin did work for me for many weeks (for a possible ADD dx in that case), but then starting making me very...what's the word? lability? Agitated, moody, can't quite describe it. Didn't seem related to the wearing off window. On that note, people have suggested I try dexedrine or Adderall instead, but at this moment I have no pdoc or inspiration, yet I do have Wellbutrin, Ritalin and traz left over that I could toy with for now. Choosing to try augmenting one or the other with traz, I'd anticipate -- not trying them all together.
