Thanks for the reply
I haven’t tried any of the ones you mentioned- I shall mention these to my doctor. I'm allergic to Benadryl, sadly.

I'm taking bromcriptine for bipolar actually but it isn’t working. I was on Mirapex (pramipexole) a drug very similar to bromocriptine and it worked really well for my agitation and anxiety. It also helped alot with the tremors. But sadly I gained tons of weight on it- more than I even gained on olanzapine. That's a very absurd and rare reaction. So I'm now trying bromocriptine in the hope that it won’t make me a tub but it is proving to be pretty useless for mood problems.

Propranolol hardly works as I cannot tolerate more than 20mg without being really drowsy. When you say you take 80mg, do you space it out over the day? Is it the type of drug that has to build up in the blood to work properly? I always thought it was a one shot, SOS kind of drug which is why I only take it when I'm in bad shape as opposed to 3 times daily like prescribed. Maybe that’s why it is having little effect.


I'm on pretty small doses of each drug, venlafaxine 37.5 mg, bupropoion 150 and modafinal 100mg >

Sadly I have really developed a tolerance clonazapine...it barely works anymore

Thanks so much for all your help
I really appreciate it.

I'm thinking about going back on the mirapex and trying to control the weight- though that is really hard ….but there aren’t many choices left.

Thanks again.
