> Maybe you have become side tracked with your old results from Geodon. If you can't take them and other APs than move on.LOL, I do try, I promise. But I grieve over Geodon like it was the love of my life (which I lost). And actually it was- how pathetic right.Some love songs make me cry because I think of Geodon. No, I'm not totally mad ;-)
>I thought you had a good game plan with the rocket fuel plus a stimulant for sedation.
Rocket fuel sounded great but for the sedation of Remeron which so many people are complaining about. And I am extra sensitive to sedation.I'm afraid a stimulant is no match for the sedation I get on drugs. I need stimulants when I'm not even on sedating drugs just to stay awake.
>Maybe substitute prozac (5htc2 antagonism) in place of effexor.
That's what I am debating. This 5htc2 antagonism of Prozac is not so simple and apparently comes with negative effects (like maybe doing something to dopamine and making u worse)I don't know. There are loads of discussions on this board about that but really I can't understand them- they are so advanced. I was hoping one of the really well-versed people (on this) could shed some light. There is someone who talks a lot about this (and Geodon too) but he's not here at the moment, it seems.
>Now put ritalin or robexetine or strattera in place for norepinephrine activity.
>Strattera is a good ne reuptake drug was once going to be marketed as an ad.Ritalin makes me bonkers even at the smallest doses. And Strattera is not here yet. So I guess it will be Reboxetine, after all!
> How about doing some research into abilify. How likely is it to cause td?
Same. But I have read (and been told by my US pdoc) possibly worse.
>Because Geodon caused it doesn't mean abilify will have the same result.
True, but its still scary. I hope my pdoc in the US replies- I sent him a thesis :) . I asked him about abilify- could I still try it if geodon had actually caused TD? I'm praying he will shed some light on the situation.
> I'm doing this for selfish reason as this does help with my depression. You could move back to NY and have your p-doc prescribe adderall or vyvanse which is prohibited in India. A little amphetamine can bounce one out of depression quite quickly.
That is a possibility- if its true that a short stint with amphetamines can help depression. I can't stay longer than 3 months though- I never lived there. I was just visiting my sister.
