>Hey Linkadge:
Hope you are doing well. My next shot at med *may*
be moclobemide. My pdoc will not try me on a traditional MAOI, I think at least until I give the moclobemide a shot. Thing is, I don't think I can do without a stimulant. But, moclobemide was a bit stimulating when I took it about 25 years ago. I actually did sorta like it. So...not quite sure. Plus, I was also thinking of Luvox, as it, back then at least, was a smoothing-out kinda med. I did ok on Prozac, but it's norepinephrine-stimulating properties also made me feel like a prisoner.I am spending lots of money on cannabis, but it is worth it. I've tried CBD many times, and I honestly feel worse after ingesting it. I can't tolerate magnesium, as I have early stage kidney disease...that sorta goes for lithium too.
But, I have tried taking the 150mg dose of lithium, fine. But I need the higher dose, usually around six hundred milligrams. Do you know at what dose lithium becomes an NMDA antagonist?I've tried most of the 'natural' route...had a really tough time with B vitamins, as too high doses can majorly mess your mind around. Really, though, serotonin and norepinephrine, raised by drugs, seem to cause more problems than not. I am more attracted to opioids, and anything to calm my horrible anxiety. Oddly, calcium works well for me. Not all the time, though. Amphetamine too...god...I love that stuff. :)
Thanks...
