Amisulpride/Stimulant Cont:

Posted by Ant-Rock on March 19, 2000, at 18:47:57

Once again, thank you Scott & Andrew for your replies and insight. I hope the descripton of my experience was properly conveyed. I failed to mention that nothing bad/traumatic was going on in my life at that time of the adverse reaction, so the Amoxapine definitely was responsible. I just don't understand why things never went back to normal(baseline?)after the med left my system. I've spent almost 4 years trying to restore the defecit the amoxapine reaction has left me with, all through trial and error.
I have been really desperate lately, even going as far as using chewing tobacco for the sake of getting some stimulation(nicotine) so I can get something done. Sounds pretty silly, but desperate times call for desperate measures I guess.
Today is my 7th day on 10mg Ritalin, and I also took my 1st dose of Amisulpride(50mg). Think I might be feeling more alert this afternoon, so here's hoping for the best. Is 10mg Ritalin usually enough in this type of treatment?
Anyway, I am also going to give Licorice Extract a fair trial in regards to my low Cortisol levels, and see if my Doc would be willing to let me take a low dose (5mg)hydrocortisone, which has been used with success in short term studies, but not a normally reccomended treatment option for this problem, as far as I know. I think there's a fear of adrenal suppresion via feedback mechanism, from the little I've found on the subject.
Also, to Scott: I'm not to my knowledge bipolar, never have experienced the mania.(Wouldn't mind feeling "alive", even for a short while though!)
Thanks once again for all of your sincere responses and as always I appreciate any feedback you can provide.

P.S. If there's a better reason for the invention of the internet than this board, I have yet to see it.

Anthony
