Hi people. Special Hi to those who remember me (& who I didn't p*ss off in some way).
Haven't posted here for nearly a year. Things have got worse than ever since then.
Main symptoms are still Social Phobia/APD, up & down severe depression plus a fatigue LIKE I NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE. Dont know WHAT the fatigue is all about. I'm hoping it's a side effect of long term modafinil use & not something worse, though I have my suspicions. I've always had energy problems but this really worries me & is hell to live with.
Still on Nardil - have been for 3 years. On very low dose of Clonazepam, not cause it helps but rather because I 'need' it. Without it I feel hectic inside. And I just come to end of modafinil - I've concluded that it aint no long term solution, not for me. But I have to stop it anyway as my pdoc has just gone ahead & issued me a script of Zyban (UK Bupropion - recently licenced here as an antidepressant, incidently). Not even I would mix the 2.
Anyway, its what I've asked for for ages & all I've ever got is refusals with some sort of explination of how it would be too dangerous with Nardil. In fact My pdoc has told me in the past he'd never even heard of such a combo. Funny how today he said he'd tried it on a few patients combined with MAOIs. Said it may be worth a try, like it was all his idea (I plan to change my doc again soon!).
So who's got any comments on this combo of Nardil & Zyban/Wellbutrin? Whos tried it, knows someone who has, read something about it, etc etc etc...? I can't find any info anywhere.
I've taken my 1st quarter pill but no problems so far...
All responces appreciated.
