Hi, Ben here, I've been diagosed with MDD, OCD - and some delusions/schizoaffective features and ADHD, (Inattentive)... I know it might be foolish for me to ask for advice with a more complicated case like this online..... :~) however, when I take dexedrine I have lazer like focus, and do well in my studies.. for a couple days, but after two days I go absolutely psychotic... I feel I have to do masochistic things for atonement for great sins I've committed - (nothing too much more than your average run of the mill sinner - but at the time I'm convinced I must be punished). This is before I went on clomipramine 150 mg. Since being on anafranil my OCD and delusions - if they are delusions are completely gone but I'm a vegetable.. I just want to sleep 18hrs a day... the abilify has helped with that.. I used to be a gifted pianist... and wanted to be a nurse practitioner... My psychiatrist is really quite good, and said that once I am stabilized on clomipramine, he may be willing to try dexedrine again to see if I had the same reaction. Currently I'm on abilify and find it helps with energy, OCD, and mood stability. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether it may be possible that now on the clomipramine and Abilify I might be more immune to dexedrine's side effects.
Thank you
