Alert Dead Man here: Thanks for responding. I take somewhere between 25 to 35mg/day. 2 other questions: Any thoughts re: adding abilify? Could this improve dopamine tone if that's the problem? Also, do you know who sells the Mallinkrodt generic version?
> > I've been on dex for almost 10 years ... and now have become a "wide awake dead person" - alert but anhedonic. Combining various combos of AD's, convulsants no improvement; now trying dex + abilify. I agree that dex can be effective but my situation suggests a long-term problem; a guess is that that my disabling "alert but anhedonic state" on dex is caused by horrible DA tone (levels/receptor sensitivity/too many transporters etc)resulting from long-term dex use. Anybody got any ideas? Been on abilify all of one day and have a splitting headache - not sure what I'm doing tonight. I'm considering going off of everything and seeing what baseline neurobiiology looks like.
