> I never expected anything to come of Effexor for you (although I do recall you saying that you had a partial response once) because the whole focus of your attempts has been (in the time I have known you) away from SSRIs.
Aside from the opioids, I don't know what is left to try.
> I have always been puzzled by the fact (correct me if I am wrong) that amphetamine produced no effect at all in you.
I know. Scary.
> Whereas methylphenidate did, inasmuch as it made you uneasy (same as me, kind of).
This is true.
> Then there's bupe.
I may need to bring up the subject with my doctor again.
> You have pretty much been through the pharmacopoeia. There may be some combinations yet to try, but.......
I'm tapped out.
> Do you regret stopping Nardil now?
Not really. I knew it was a gamble, but I was not ready to settle for the small improvement that Nardil gives me just yet. At the very least, I was hoping to arrive at a treatment that was no less effective than Nardil. It would be nice to shed the excess weight and eat Mexican food again. I guess it makes sense to pursue dosages of Effexor higher than 300 mg. After that...
You have a great memory.
