> Isn't that frustrating? You just sit there like some barely animate object, unable to come up with a way to contribute. Its maddening. 5 - 10 mg of Abilify (I think you'd previously asked about dopamine agonists, it is one at low doses)has pretty much eradicated this problem for me - for the first half of the day. Afternoons, evenings I'm a statue again, no matter if I dose again or not, but half days of relief is better than none. Also, on the subject of DA, I just read a post that Requip is very helpful to someone with focus, motivation, etc. Think I'll give that a shot - I'm always on the lookout for a good DA as well... Maybe I can find something that works all day...
>I know this feeling only too well. (And I distinguish the "having nothing to say" feeling from the "my brain is so wrapped up about having nothing to say that it's not coming up with a response" feeling.)
I have yet to try a DA that helped with my focus and motivation issues. My recent trial with Requip and past trials of dextroamphetamine were a flop.
I'm about to add Emsam and see if that does anything.
