Thanks Thomatheus. Everything you mentioned is spot on. Especially the pregnenolone - waste of time that turned out to be.
I'm already on 150mg/day bupropion now. If I weren't so messed I would have increased much slower. Yet things seem to have got worse. I'm now in solid depression - no ups at all, just constant hatefull thinking, inward disgust, etc...
Its hard to know exactly why this is. Is it caused by bupropion? I'm aware that noradrenergic drugs can do this, its happened with reboxetine before. I doubt the sudden withdrawal of 500mg/day modafinil is helping either. I really want to stop the clonazepam completely, but have read that this can increase the likelyhood of siezures when just starting bupropion.
Funny thing (not really) also is that I am actually more 'awake' in my head now, which is exactly what I wanted, but feeling depressed every moment I am awake certainly isn't what I wanted. The only thing I have to turn to is caffein when things get unbareable. Works, but the rebound is a bad trade-off.
I'm gonna up my Nardil to 90mg, stay on 150mg bupropion & halve clonazepam to 0.25mg/day - try that for a week. Fingers crossed.
Worst time of year for all this too - hey, maybe Santa will give me a new brain!
