> Have you tried any noradrenergic meds- TCA's, Strattera? They are good for motivation but do little for energy, for me. What about stimulants or Provigil?Well, I kind of ruled out tcas because I cannot risk more weight gain (and I gained a ton on remeron and ssris). Plus, my doc frankly never mentioned them. I think he really is only willing to do anything with an maoi because he read about the selegeline/phenylalanine study some years ago. he always seems to dig anything that has some kind of "natural medicine" component to it. That is the extent of his "experimenting". (Went nuts over sam-e)
He seems to stick with modern day ads - except for effexor.Don't know much about strattera but I imagine he would look at me sideways since the commercials all have that idiotic woman with the "channel changing in her head" (at least in the states).
I guess I will give this combination a chance. I seem to be running out of options, unless I find a doctor with different leanings....
