Hi Emily...
Thanks for the response. I am on a really weird combo of drugs, but they really seemed to help. I am on Prozac, 80mg a day; Nortriptyline, 100mg a day; Zyprexa, 10mg a day; Seroquel, 200mg a day; Klononpin, 4mg a day.
I know...it sounds crazy that I don't consider any of these other meds to cause the depression. It's just that I've been on all these others for 3 or more years, and the Dexedrine, just 3 weeks. And this wave of depression has been about exactly 3 weeks.But, now I am wondering if maybe my dose is a bit too low as you mentioned, or maybe I need to add a good mood stabilizer. (The only problem with lithium is that it made me very irritable and angry when I was on it.) But, maybe another. BUT, instead of adding more meds, I should either a)try to ride this out or b)do some dose changes of the Dexedrine.
Thanks very much for your thoughts. I really need some different perspectives right now.
Take good care,
Jay
