Hi.
I don't remember what book you were reading. Ihaven't been able to summon the energy for the past couple of days to get back to the doctor to have the bloodwork done.
> I have tried Amineptine and Tianeptine. The Tianeptine if I recall correctly only got me nervous if that. I do not remember any side effects and it did not help my mood. If you have further interest:)in these I can be found at lacys34c yahoo.com with an @ after c. I saw someone else do it this way. I am not going to look up the rules and figure out if it is needed.
I'm definitely trying Cymbalta. My appointment with my p-doc is Thursday. This is a new doctor, though, so I'm not sure what to expect.
>
> I think I have a dopamine problem and I know my pdoc does. By the way a question for you. Since I could not decide between the Duloxetine and Milnacipran what do you think I should try next?
> I have not ordered the Milnacipran yet. I am taking Oxycontin, Ritalin, Valium, and Klonipin.I don't know what milnacipran is. Okay, well, I just looked it up on the internet. I didn't know there was another serotonin/norepinephrine drug out there (besides Effexor and before Cymbalta). I thought that's what all the fuss was about Cymbalta.
> I started Amisulpride about a week ago and it is definitely shifting my mood to a better place. It has had a little effect on the I.C. but not enough that I would stop taking it yet.I wonder why my regular doctor prescribed Zyprexa for me, knowing I was a recovering bulimic, when there are other similar drugs out there that don't cause increased hunger.
> I mentioned a few I tried. I tried most of the SSRI's and they had no effect at all. Also a couple TCA's but probably not long enough yet the side effects were no so great. The Maoi's helped me a lot for many years but pooped out. And of course the Amineptine, Tianeptine, Provigal and a few I cannot remember right now.
I just cannot tolerate the side effects from the SSRIs. And Provigil made me wired and jittery in a very unpleasant way.

> You are in a place right now I would be glad to be. Of course once I got there, or let me be optimistic, once I get there I will be looking to get to a better place as you are. I know it is hard but you are functioning.Yeah, I read some of the posts here and I guess I'm really pretty lucky. I mean, I'm only on one med and am managing to more or less hold it together most days.
> p.s. How do you send a post with parts of mine inserted? Is it just cut and paste?
There's an option when you go to post "include this post" If you check that box, the post you are replying to comes up in the answer box and you can insert your answers in between parts of the old message.Marsha
