thanks bill.
I actually want to continue the lex plus the wellbutrin--give it at least a year or so. I dont want to be switching meds.
What frustrates me: I recently found some info on sepcific symptoms that come from particular NTs being deficient. My complaints fit more in with the dopamine, and norepinephrine list. Once it was diagnosed as chronic/major depression, he didnt seem to go any further. I find it highly dubious in this light that the AD I started on should be just the latest SSRI out there.
yeah, Ive complained to him about my mental functioning alot. They are obviously ADD symptoms, but not extreme. To his credit, the fact that I was in the middle of a dark depreesion made it impossible to diagnose whether I was ADD or not.
I have always been kind of a daydreamer, found it difficult to absorb information when being spoke to, not good at thinking on my feet, and had a bad memory. I think thats why I escaped into books and writing, where I could deliberate and take my time. As Ive gotten older it seems that these attributes have crossed the line to symptoms. THough I wont know where I am exactly until I get this depression under control; its complicated by the fact that the ADD has contriubuted to the depression. Catch 22.
Yeah, I do hope that Wellbutrin can help me, since its supposed to boost norepinephrine action too. Strattera appeals to me to.
