I am already late leaving my apartment, otherwise I would respond in more detail. But I have to stop putting off going outside otherwise I will never be able to do it.
By trivial I meant "commonly understood", not "unimportant".
I do not wish to come off as antagonistic, I am sorry if I did. I am very agitated/anxious/depressed right now and do not know what to do. The doctor I have now _IS_ one of the top research psychopharmacologists at UMDNJ I think--at least of the ones that practice. i was referred to him after being labelled "treatment-resistant". I am sure you know how that is.
And this guy is without a doubt highly competent, especially relative to many psychiatrists out there. It is nice to have someone for a doctor that actually knows way more than I do about the drugs that I am taking. I know the reason he will not combine nardil + dexedrine has to do with lawsuits. He came here from columbia (the country, not the university) in 1997 and had to do his residency all over in the US in order to practice here. He has been in practice for 35 years. I do not blame him for being scared to do something that is conventionally considered unthinkable, but in reality probably OK. The people who would be trying to yank away his license--and reputation and livelihood--should I get hurt and sue are not bright enough to understand the reasoning involved in the combination.
It still infuriates me to no end, because there is exactly ONE antidepressant that really works for me long-term: Nardil. I also need d-amphetamine to focus enough to get anything done in the workforce--at least until I can find a job that I dont need to take it to do.
