Ok- so now the feelings of anxiety and misery are back.... Pdoc on vacation..... What next? I have gabapentin 200 mg 3x/day and adderall XR 10 mg 1x/day.... Options I could try with current scripts include increasing gabapentin to 300 mg 3x/day or adding a second dose of adderall (or both). BTW: both are ok according to my current scripts.... anyone? Also, I meet with the pdoc in a few weeks and wonder what next step should be? Add an antidepressant???? If so, which one.... I keep asking and posting about stimulants because I am trying to figure out what is missing...... I think the gabapentin helps GABA stay afloat and I think the stimulant helps the dopamine stay present.... Is this right? If so then I would assume the missing links are NE and serotonin.... Thereofore, would parnate or pristiq be good choices???? Anyone?
I realize there are a lot of questions here so please respond to whatever makes sense..... I am desparate again.
