Hi!
Thanks so much for posting your e-mail address and I understand how you did it because I've read that it's a good idea to spell it all out on message boards to avoid spam.
I am going to write it down and when I'm at a computer with email access again, I will contact you, probably in broken French! LOL!
I don't have online access at home yet, having recently moved, so I have to go to the library (where there's a 30-minute limit for email) but a good supply of Internet only computers (no email) or my sister's house which is a bit of a distance from where I live!
Wow - that is some long first part of the email address you have! I am guessing some of it might be your last name? Hmmmm ...! (you don't have to answer that on here ... you can do so when I email you!)
Just for the heck of it, I did a quick search on Ultram and realize that it is a US product (American manufacturer!)
Wow - you live one state over from me - I'm in AZ! I'm glad you explained how Ultram is like a cross between codeine and Effexor because all I got from what I read was that it's a strong PAIN KILLER! I wondered how on earth it could help with depression. This is a new one on me.
I know that the anti-seizure meds help with BiPolar/mood cycling, but never heard of a pain killer helping with depression!
I also searched Desoxyn and was shocked that its generic name is methamphetamine hydrochloride precisely because of what you mentioned -- the unfortunate stigma attached to it. However, what I read DID indicate that Desoxyn is used for ADD!
I've heard that it's also a good idea to at the very least add a full-spectrum B-complex vitamin because vitamins are extremely important to nervous system health because they help with stress - when you're under stress, you deplete B vitamins.
Do you have a recommendation of what formulation of B vitamin to get, for example, should I get a bottle of B-100, where there is 100 mg of each B vitamin in the pill? (I would then just add the B vitamin each morning to my am multivitamin and meds - take them all at once; I take so many darn pills, what's one more!)
Thanks!
