Hi. Your doctor sounds wonderful Gabbi- how lucky for you! And for us- you can actually ask him questions for us??! What a nice guy! I can't even ask questions about myself with my dr.! You have unipolar with GAD? Is GAD 'comorbid anxiety'?
I agree that it's strange the dexedrine doesn't send you through the roof. I thought stimulants were prescribed for ADD? If you don't have ADD then it shows, again, how you really don't know WHAT will work for someone!
It kind of reminds me of when I first started meds, my 1st AD being prozac. Now I have Major anxiety , maybe GAD- but I think worse.! My depresson is: I don't know, maybe unipolar, maybe something else. But anyway. . . prozac is supposed to be rather stimulating, right? For me, I was more focused and calm. Just the opposite of what I thought a stimulating AD would do to me. However, after a while on prozac I did have reactions. I wonder if I would have had these SE's if my dose had been lower? Hmmm.I was interested to learn more about the trazadone, but it sounds like it can be a depressant to some. With my similar reaction to a stimulating med, I wonder if the traz would have the same depressing effect on me.
