Thanks for the info and support Ace (and of course, everyone else that posted). I'm hanging in there, but barely at times.
Went to the doc today.. seen him twice and he's already thinking of refering me to some specialist (which is what I thought HE was, hmm).
Anyway, he added Lamictal, so we'll see what happens. He never mentions the benzos though. He was nice enough to give me provigil samples, but gave me a schedule on what to use when, so he wanted to delay the provigil for 2 weeks after starting Lamictal.
He did give me Zyprexa last month, which boosted my mood for a short period (a few days) to about an 8/9 out of 10. I had crazy motivation too (a good thing). Best I have felt in 1.5 years. But, it suddendly stopped working, and made me gain 15 pounds in one month. Been 3 weeks since the added weight, and now I can't shake the weights off, even though the insane craving for sweets and junk food has stopped after stopping the Zyprexa (3 weeks ago).
No energy or mood to workout of course, so that's a bummer. I will go back to my target wieght of 165 if it kills me. I'm 5'9", and always have been thing, until now. I look and feel horrible. Thanks zyprexa!!! (not)
Been on both before in the past, and I don't remember either doing anything for me, hence, why I don't take them now, BUT, the doc I had at that time was too apt to drop a drug for another instead of give it a chance, play with the dosages, etc.
Man, so tired now and it's only 10pm. I wasn't tired until 5+ am 2 nights ago. That's how inconsistent I am.
