I know all the diet restrictions...
hmm...You lost me, what do you have in your drawer?
>for now i'll stay the course, and try to be compliant, and I did mention TCAs but my pdoc is younger and doesn't seem to keen on them. Its my body though right?
Yes, it is your body. I would tell your pdoc that you are going to try Nortriptyline whether they approve or not. That is, if this is what you choose to do. Bring some literature on SSRI + Nortriptyline in to them and print out other's experiences on SSRI + Nortriptyline treatment, if you have access to some. We have to be our own advocates!
I have to say, the one drug that made me feel like I had enhanced response to rewards and pleasure was Zoloft. It may not do this for me anymore, but for a long long time, it did. That's why I really want to try combining Zoloft with Nortriptyline to see what happens.
I didn't know Zyprexa hit the reward and mesolimbic areas of the brain. Is this through 5ht2c antagonism? Or is it through another mechanism? I can't do Zyprexa anymore, it makes it too easy for me to sleep in and ruminate over negative conditions in my life.
