> sabreHey thanx for your concern. Ive also been trying to quit smoking cigarettes but i am convinced my addiction is mostly chemical. after spending 3 hrs waiting the doc wouldnt perscribe me Zyban because of 'side effects'. I almost jumped the desk and strangled the little f*ck. i investigate meds often and know what im talkin about. So im just gonna stick to the reboxetine. im on my last day of mirtazapine washout (really isnt that bad except a really light sensation on my arms all day) i feel like im flying when i walk lol.
I shall start the Reboxetine at 8mg bid tomorow.
I will also be taking a B complex to help the meds get to work and help the nervous system.
I also take Epillim (sodium valproate) a mood stabilizer and Serqoel to knock me out at night.
I have an instinctive feeling that my serotonin levels might need a boost. Does anyone know if Epillim or Serquel(more likely) will help me with that? Or perhaps a natural supplement that will boost serotonin and dopamine? or just serotonin like 5HTP?Anyway keep postin i was so shocked when someone actually replied!
Cheers Borderliner
