I wish I could remember the dosage of Zoloft I took.
Hmm. I recently read about prolactin too and want to get mine tested. The problem is, I think the zoloft has had some kind of long-term affect on my dopamine. though I quit taking it last Dec., my motivation never came back 100%; it improved greatly, but I'm still only about 50%?
Since seratonin agents work for anxiety in my case, do you think this means I will always have to take something for dopamine simulataneously? I've been thinking about the TCAs and klonopin, but am not sure what to do at this point. Wellbutrin no longer works for me, which was once great to counteract this effect. My current PDoc, while new and just refilling my scripts from last doctor, said he could get wellbutrin to work again w/a small dose of Prozac (5 mgs?). I'm wondering if he was just thinking of that as a placebo though, since I couldn't find any research on that combo.
I chose buspirone because of this issue, but it's no longer holding up with all the environmental stressors. I'm afraid I'm not going to make it through school.
