Hello,
I was on 300mg wellbutrin and I dont remember that it made me feel worse but also not better.I was on cymbalta up to 120mg, did nothing for me!
I was on lexapro 20mg for 4 months didn't work but caused HUGE withdrawals.
I was on anafranil 75mg for 1 month the side effects were too strong my heart was racing all the time so I had to get off it.
I feel like SSRI/SNRI are not going to work for me. But the TCA all the the same side effects like anafranil and if anafranil wasn't tolerable for me then amitritypline and others will be the same. Also TCAs are even less mixable with d-amph and I am trying d-amph for ADD.
It's a very complicated situation and I have to figure this out on my own cause my doc makes no suggestions. He has way too little time for this.
If I do not know what I want when I go to him then the whole visit is useless. He will simply suggest whatever comes to his mind and this usually doesn't work either.I really dont even know if ANY drug out there can help me.
I also tried 600 mg NAC but I cannot say that I felt better. I read NAC can also increase glutamate maybe this is bad for me.
I would rather like to try Lamictal but my pdoc declined. He said he thinks this isn't right for me. :/
I can only say that the antidepressants don't seem to help me with my key issues which are:
depression
anxiety
restlessness/clear mind
ocdAnd I'm also scared that d-amph might not help me with my ADD either. Ritalin certainly does not.
I basically get nothing done. Every day is the same. I am so undirected and unproductive. I am totally tripping on the spot and every day I do the same destructive things which do not help me AT ALL but I am stuck with them. I feel like every other person in my place could make much more progress than I can. I just hate it.
