I'm kinda surprised that your doc won't extend your prescription for despramine. Then again, some docs are very conservative which seems to mean they go with the newer, mainstream drugs. My pcp (who I am slowly replacing) suggested lyrica so off-handedly. And frankly, while this particular doctor is no villain, he has zero curiosity about me as an individual patient. And all the advertisements for Lyrica, cymbalta. I am glad those
medications work for some patients. What's frustrating is when treatment
options are narrowed.
Are you generally content with your doc otherwise? And no other contraindications or dangers with despramine? BTW, thank you for sharing the side-effects. My BP is ridiculously low, but my heart rate could be a problem. And you mention headaches.
Here's a weird thing. The nri I had trouble with was strattera. I did begin to have headaches, unusual for me. Then I started having raynaud's symptoms that
have not abated. It's almost like that particular drug (for me) had a cascading effect. That's the only way I can explain it.
Thanks for suggesting adderall. That might be good. Seems many here have success with it. I might try provigil/nuvigil again, however my experience was negative. Kept my mind going (dysphorically) without alleviating any fatigue.
Ptsd is such a strange condition. I'm sorry you have to deal with it. Does your doc understand some of the health issues that can accompany it? I find that helps me tons. Best wishes to you.
