Hi Z.
> which brands of nortriptyline were you using?I forgot to ask, but I'll be sure to next time I have my prescription renewed.
> I've been using Watson for the last year, and used either 75 or 100 mg depending on whether I was augmenting with a stimulant.
Does the stimulant affect the kinetics of nortriptyline, or do you feel their mechanisms of action are too synergistic for you to remain at the higher dosage?
> recently I have gone down to 50 mg, and experienced a relapse of depression as well as other problems. I'm going back up to 75 mg tonight, and adding 25 mg strattera tomorrow.
Good luck. Anything good to report so far?
> Very glad to hear you are feeling better!A little, but I'll take all I can get. My combo manages to give me a bit more mental and physical energy, but is not really attacking the depression itself. I am still anergic with anhedonia and cognitive and memory deficits. But at least I vacuumed my apartment today. That is a big deal!
