Updating again....
met with the pdoc today and we are discontinuing Abilify so that leaves me with only the Remeron 30 mg for depression. She wants me to increase the dosage to 45 mg but im gonna stay on 30 for a week or so and see if i get any increased benefits since ive only been at 30 mg for two weeks. plus, id like to change 1 variable at a time and since im quitting abilify, ill wait a bit to see how that alters my mood (if it does). If anything, I suspect I will feel slighly less medicated and a bit more pro-sexual.
oh yeah, and she has suggested i try nuvigil for my energy issues which i am open to. i didnt want to use a stimulant and i guess this isnt technically a stimulant but very similar. she gave me some samples and i took one when i left hr office this am (on her advice that it was still early enough to try it out today). it definitely felt somewhat stimulating but there was still and underlying fatigue and poor memory (depression?) underneath it all though i was a bit more productive than usual i suppose. Not a terrible experience but not getting to the root of my problem. definitely a potential helpful "coping med" if i choose to use it longterm.
Thats kind of where im at. Guess, I'll keep updating. Would appreciate any feedback.
Peace,
Alex
