I will definitely let everyone know and hopefully it will be a success story. We need those. Or at least I need those and specifically one for me!

Can relate with your depression as mine's been a sleepy, anhedonic one for the most part, with one deep dark patch.

> Only 15 mgs. I know the higher doses are less sedating, but I couldn't bring myself to believe that taking more of drug that knocked me on my *ss would have less side effects. Let me know how you do on 45 mgs.

I'm really curious to see if it affects me differently at a higher dose as they say its effects on norepinephrine kick in at 45 mg. (I might also be a little peeved if it works I have to say because it's been 5-plus years since I was on it with a LOT of grey days and mental suffering that might have been avoided with a dose switch!)

Current meds are Fluoxetine 20 mgs, Adderall XR and 1 mg of Klonopin. I've been on Klonopin 8 years, which is much too long. Not sure if the Fluoxetine does anything or serves any purpose anymore. I think the Adderall XR helps which irritability and mood, but seriously how long can one sustain taking amphetamines? Never tried a mood stablizer and couldn't get by the sedation of Remeron. So there you have it.
