stimulants and tolerance

Posted by delna on July 9, 2001, at 1:15:32

hi
i have just joined the board
I was wondering what experiences people have had with stimulants for depression or sleepiness. Have u developed any tolerance?
I am constantly sleepy and have been taking effexor 300mg for 1 year (for depression). I am much more awake with it. However I am still too sleepy to keep my job or drive. My doctor added modafinil at 200mg or 400mg. For the first few days it worked great. I was fully alert and could concentrated but soon it stopped helping. Could this be tolerance.
My doctor added wellbuttin 150mg X 2 but this has not helped me at all.
He is reluctant to prescribe stimulants as he is worried about tolerance and addiction. But I know that there are people who have to take it for life and manage somehow.
Anyway – it would really help to know your experiences with stimulants and tolerance.
thanks
delna
