In reply to Trivastal LA, what dose? for dep? and how long?, posted by AdamCanada on February 8, 2008, at 2:09:45
The two people here in recent weeks who tried Trivastal got very good results and have since disappeared for pbabble. People who are feeling good generally do not hang out. So one can assume all is well with them and Trivastal. I remember the general scenario of hints of something good as early as day 2 but not a real good kickin until about a week. I think the doses in those cases were in the 100mg to 150mg range?
As has already been stated, LA and Retard have different half lives. The LA will need 2 or 3 doses in a day. The Retard only one. Regardless that they are the same med, I have seen people here over the years that benefited from one version of a med but not the other. For example, Wellbutrin sustained versus Wellbutrin extended release, or regular Xanax versus extended release Xanax, or Effexor versus Effexor extended release. The way the drugs are supposed to be absorbed is all based on a healthy normal average intestinal tract, which I think is a stretch to assume we all have. I saw at another forum someone did well with the Retard but not the LA, and someone else it was just the opposite. Go figure.
Anyway, just stuff to ponder. As far as your current trial is concerned, I think the once daily dose is wearing off too soon, the dose might not be high enough, and it is still a little too early in the trial.
