I have been on 50 mg of nortriptyline and .5 of risperdal for about two months. I went to my doctor last week explaining the nortryptiline may not e helping my depression. The risperdal has helped me sleep better and helped to control my obsessive thoughts and anxiety.
He started me on 25 mg of luvox in combination with the nortryptiline and risperdal. I noticed within the first few hours feeling different, a better overall mood, yet this stoned feeling that is impairing my memory and cognitive abilities. This is now day 4 on the Luvox. I am starting a new job in a week and paranoid that I won't get used to this med and go into my next job acting like a complete air head. I understand you need to give these kinds of meds a few weeks to get used to and give a fair trial, but I feel like I made a mistake starting right now.
Could it be that the combination or nortryptiline and Luvox is a very potent combination that may create a seretonin overload? I may start tapering off the nortryptiline, but I did want to be on it while taking the Luvox in order to to single out which med is more effective.... Does anyone have suggestions out there?
