I will try to make this short. I have been through 15+ different meds for extremely severe clinical depression caused by Vitamin A overdose by a med called Accutane.
Most seratonin meds made me worse such as Celexa (extremely), effexor (extremely), prozac, and several others but one has worked to the point where my life is tolerable.
I am on Paxil right now along with dexedrine. No Longer am I a zombie with harsh hot pains in my head (as if my brain chemicals are severely messed up in one way or another), and I am able to go about my daily life.
But I am not entirely better. Not even close. But it's better than wishing you were dead. One med that helped me through these past 5 or so years was Vivarint or Viloxazine/Viloxazina (Emovit, Vivalan, Vivarint, Vicilan).
For the limited time I took it I felt higher motivation, returning of hobbies and interests, for one I wanted to go out and meet people and DO THINGS and as an added bonus it gave me a HUGE sex drive. This medication I have not had any luck finding on any online order sites (taken off the market) and is not available in north america. I think only in France... so I am out of luck on that end.
.
So I am here asking what meds work on norepinephrine that can help me? I need something that can be taken With Paxil and not require me to stop taking paxil as I cannot function without Paxil Period.
Please offer any suggestions. I am sick of living my life as someone who is only half alive.
My problems right now are: Lack of motivation, Low Drive (for anything, not just sex), Anti-social, Tiredness, Apathy, Etc
