I recently started augmenting Celexa & Neurontin with Vivactil. It doesn't seem to do much to help with depression, although it does relieve a lot of the sedation I've been feeling lately. It seems like I'm not as hungry lately, either (an issue, since I've gained more than 20 pounds in the last year since starting with AD's).
What I don't like about it is that it gives me sort of an internal "revved-up" kind of feeling. Not a manic sort of thing--more like the volume of my inner life has been turned up. I still feel unhappy, though!
I think the definition of dysthymia must be: "Thinks about suicide from an intellectual viewpoint; isn't motivated to consider it seriously--at this time!"
This time of year, I wish I could say I just don't believe--and that people would understand and just leave it at that.
