Hi Z!
I'm relieved that you're feeling a bit better today :-)
>Nortriptyline's effects are very dose dependent-I am apt to forget this as it is actually the most well-tolerated, over a wide dose range, psychotropic I have ever taken.
I wonder what dose of nortriptyline would be the most effective for you? Some people need up to 150mg. Have you ever had your serum level measured? Of course, the only way to truly find the optimum dose is to experiment!
> Well, actually, I think a lot of the reason the Ritalin went bad was because of the nortrip going down to a sub-therapeutic dose.
Perhaps if you were on a full dose of nort you could tolerate the Ritalin. I'm sure you'd need to combine it with a suitable cardiovascular drug. I wonder what suggestions a cardiologist might have.
>I will know by tomorrow which clinician I will see and what kind of washout it will entail.
Good luck :-) Keep me updated.
>kappa opiod receptor: 95 nM
I'm sorry, I'm not sure whether 95 is low enough to be significant.
>Thanks for all your support
It's a pleasure!
Ed.
