Fabulous!!
All I can say now right after being on 100mg of Trivastal Retard. It would have been a dreadful slip-up if I dumped this med altogether after being discouraged.
With the whole of sincerity, I dare say, this has been the best ever antidepressant I have taken.
It was not very effective on 50mg which is the starting dose. But 100mg made a huge difference within days. I think for an antidepressant to be the real antidepressant it should be like Trivastal. I am full of life now enjoying whatever there is pleasing in life. At work, I am more focused, revising all that I left undone due to apathy. My coworkers notify I have become a workaholic. That could be true, since I hate to leave my office without finishing all that I can finish in a working day. Increased desire to socialize is another remarkable change I myself notice now plus an awesome control over my nerves. I am on the way to become the nicest person here.
An extremely healthy libido is the bonus. Though libido has almost to touch the roof, it never goes beyond an unhealthy level. (At least so far) I can always restraint and have fun.
Enhanced clarity of thinking, excellent verbal recall, laser sharp focus, visual acuity… improvement is evident in all faculties. The only downside is anxiety if I don’t take amisulpride. Taking a tiny dose of amisulpride; as low as 12.5mg a day arrests the problem very effectively without meddling to the pros of Trivastal.
Despite all this, I mailed to Servier- France, not to market this as an antidepressant; just for the reason I don’t want history to repeat again when Survector (amineptine) is well behind us.
Finally, it can still be of Trivastal or not, as it is very difficult to single out a med from my cocktail which contains Provigil and Prozac. The magnificent antidepressant response I exert at the moment can very well be the effect of a single med or the collective action of many meds. But things were not the same prior to the advent of Trivastal. So, I can’t help eulogizing this wonderful stuff.

Thanks again. I should be receiving Trivastal Retard pretty shortly. I thought you liked the 50mg dose?

50mg did okay, but the real or definite antidepressant action been gained on 100mg.
If you plan to try Trivastal, keep in mind it is not going to be a smooth ride for the first few days at least. Get prepared for increased anxiety, sleeping problems etc. Besides, something like a worsening of depression too can occur. But story would be different if you can hang on.
Always keep a benzo like Xanax or Ativan handy. You might need it when you are about to explode. Such a reaction is not uncommon as I occasionally have bouts of severe anxiety even after weeks on the med.
Cheers.

I strongly suggest two slices of plain toast before the dose
