I'm not eager to try another stimulant. for one thing three drugs feels like enough, four and the s/e start to become noticeable. Nortriptyline is a very 'natural' feeling drug, if you know what I mean. It makes me a little more emotional than I ordinarily would be, and it stops the REM problems at 100 mg pretty efficiently. Clonazepam makes it possible to stand on supermarket lines without going through agony. Buspirone... well, there is the theoretical rationale of alpha-2 antagonists potentiating noradrenergic AD's, and that seems to be true in my case.
if I do try another stim, it's going to have to be with atenolol, after an EKG, under the auspices of someone who knows what they're doing. right now I have only limited trust in any pdoc to know what they're doing.
