I am a long time sufferer of most of the 17 dwarfs. I am curious if anyone has thoughts about the following cocktail for anhedonia, TRD, MDD, BP II or spectrum, and Adult ADD. I'd add a few other issues, but I get to depressed and can't pay attention long enough.
Cocktail:
Lamictal (dose TBD) to stabilize mood (I've tried before and had HUGE additional anhedonia at 50mg. and discontinued)
Wellbutrin Xl (300 mg. QD) (energy and some antidepressant effect)
Namenda (10mg. QD) (memory and putative warding off of stimulant tolerance)
Concerta (dose TBD) (methyphenidate and amphetamines work immediately and are nearly completely successful in slaying the dwarfs, but crap out very quickly)
Liotrix (200/50 mg. QD) (helps with energy and mood)
Savella (100 MG BID)(I have used this successfully in the past as Ixel, effects petered out and had anger issues)
One other issue. Unlike most folks, I hugely enjoyed the near anorgasmia of Prozac. Apparently my female companions were pleased as well. I have had issues with catecholamine active drugs causing quite rapid orgasm, which is not popular with any one (see also: boys differ from girls). Any thoughts along this line would be appreciated as well.
Long time listener, first time caller...I've been to depressed to register. Thanks in advance for any wisdom.
