> Also, have you tried any stimulants in addition to an SSRI?Yes I have, but I don't respond well to them. I don't get any "high" on the amphetamine-type medications, only nervous and jittery.
I started Celexa when it first came on the market. I was up to 40 mg at one time. It does help with anxiety, including social anxiety, but it makes me "lazy" as well.
Its worthless for adhedonia.
As far as Nardil vs Mannerix, they both "feel" like very different medications to me.
Nardil was effective for a year back in the 1980's, but it wore off after
a time, though lasted much longer then the Mannerix has.I take the Mannerix at the same time as Celexa. Twice a day: 150 mg of Mannerix and 5 mg Celexa for a total of 300/10 mgs. respectively per day.
I have found Lexapro to raise my anxiety levels unlike its cousin, Celexa, so I can understand why you don't like the Lexapro.
I wish I could handle Zyprexa but I feel spaced out on it and cannot work or drive safely when have tried it, so you are lucky about that fact.
Q: Is Mannerix available from your doctor or the pharmacies in the UK? Can your doctor prescribe it for you?
Good luck with your doctors' appointment tomorrow, Denise.
