Hi.
>but... i think my next idea is to take a med that focuses on Norepinephrine
Which med would you like to try?
NRIs do not have the immediate 'feel good' effect that stimulants often produce. If they are going to work, they normally do so over a period of a few weeks. You might notice some improvement after a couple of weeks. Like all widely prescribed ADs, the AD effect appears to occur mainly in response to adaptations in the brain, and is therefore not immediate, but delayed and sustained. With tricyclic NRIs, the appearance of the AD effect is thought to be correlated with beta adrenergic receptor down-regulation in the brain.
Starting tricyclics at full doses may be poorly tolerated. It would be best to get a prescription for the lowest strength of tablet since you're not familiar with this type of med... and have concerns about tolerability.
Do you have any non-psych medical problems? And are you on any non-psychiatric meds?
