She wants me to start out at only 5mg of Viibryd a day.
I told her 20mg of Buspar was making me irritable and she asked if I was still taking Trileptal and I told her no - she said I might need to go back to a low dose of that.
Then she mentioned adding a low dose of Ritalin - but I hate Ritalin and Vyvanse NEVER wears off me, so she suggested going back to a low dose of Adderall.
I have to admit, I feel like Buspar has helped the depression more than the anxiety. And if I don't take Buspar in the afternoon, I actually have anxiety in the morning. I love the weight neutralness of Buspar. It just seems like they need to make it in a higher dose with an extended release!
I'm afraid "getting hooked" on ADs again. I hate the withdrawal of those darn drugs.
But, I also hate the irritability and mood changes that come with stimulants.
Not sure what the best course of action is. It sounds like either way, if I take an AD or a stimulant, I will need a mood stabilizer I guess.
