> Paul, thanks for your suggestion. i seriously doubt i could get Desoxyn prescribed though, for one thing, and it might also be too potent and risky being on an MAOI. i am considering a low/moderate dose of either methylphenidate, dextroamphetamine, or pemoline, however. i wonder if one of these (a stimulant) would be better or worse overall than a straight dopamine agonist.

> Panda, i don't think nortriptyline or trazodone would be good due to their H1 blocking properties. i am so sensitive to antihistamines and never seem to develop adequate tolerance to them. i hate em. Also i can't deal with much more anticholinergic effect and so i think nortriptyline would be especially bad. i wish so much i could try something like nomifensine, but nOOOoooo, they won't keep thAt available. Anyway, thanks for your suggestions though.Ha? Methyphenidate *IS* a dopamine against, as well as considered to be a MILD stimulant, as compared to Dex a stronger and older (80yrs)stimulant, and a proper amphetamine,opposed to "amphetamine like" with Desoxyn considered a STRONG stimulant, (and yes i was kidding with you about using it, as you would have a job in your case), it is usually *always* reserved for last resort cases of severe, failed everything else, narcolepsy, Obesity-seldomly, and ADHD ADD, it is also very expensive, at around $3US per 5mg pill, and the recently discontinued Desoxyn SR 15mg selling at $6 per pill.
