> Perhaps prazosin would help you as it does me.

I like Prazosin. It does help with nightmares and left me feeling calm, but it did not affect my anxiety or mood enough to warrant taking it.


>Anhedonia (I get no pleasure out of saying that).

Ha. I want to buy you a beer.

What of a different MAOI? Nardil? I really think you need to rethink your main antidepressant if you feel you still struggle with feeling good.

>might act as a prophylactic against contracting Alzheimer's Dementia.

Do you have a fear of becoming senile?

> At 400 mg/day of Lamictal, I can't remember my own name.

Lightweight.

> That's interesting. How does that work?

tonically activated alpha 1-adrenoceptors stimulate dopamine release in the caudate putamen as well as in the nucleus accumbens.

> Biologically, a whole bunch of things.

Its a wonder you haven't responded to other NMDA or glutamatergic drugs.

> 3. I tried Geodon at 40 - 80 mg/day. I experienced a profound cognitive dulling (brain-fog) along with some derealization.

Those side effects go away at the higher doses.

> Memantine was without effect, but I only went up to 20 mg/day.

I hit 60 mg before I felt any effect from this drug.

I disagree. I think everyone could benefit from some "augmentation".

Would you say you suffer from treatment resistant depression...Maybe a little mania would do you some good...
