I finally got the energy to go out this morning to buy a BP monitor; now I have to figure out how to use it. While at Walmart I used their BP monitor and measured 80/42.
> If not, I'd ask my doctor about trying Florinef to support my BP while going back up to 9mg
Have you ever taken Florinef? I'll have to get a different doc; neither my internest nor pdoc wanted to give me something for the low bp since it seems to be clearly caused by the EMSAM
> have you tried combinations of those meds? Did any of them, at adequate trials at therapeutic doses, offer any improvement? ...It could be that combining a couple of them would help, even though nothing worked completely on its own.The only improvement I got was that I didn't cry as easily. I was still depressed and very fatigued; hypersomnia & anhedonia were my biggest problems. The only combo I tried was Paxil + Wellbutrin: my pdoc hoped the Wellbutrin would be energizing, but it didn't work that way for me.
Thanks for your input & good wishes. I really appreciate it.
