I'm still doing well. My core symptom of anhedonia--inability to experience pleasure in normal everyday activities--has been reduced to a very low level. Not completely gone, but almost.
Current cocktail:
300mg Adrafinil
100mg Amisulpride
1200-1500mg St Johnswort
7.5mg RemeronI tried reducing the Amisulpride to 50mg and noticed deterioration within two days. I would like to increase the Adrafinil, though I have to admit it's working fine at the lowest dose of 300mg. With me there may be no justified reason to raise it, and might be counterproductive. Not sure. But for now, these meds are working better for me than any of at least a couple dozen different meds in five years.
On a 1 to 10 scale I would rate myself a 9 to 9 1/2. 1=wish I would die. 2=living nightmare, extreme depression, how the hell will I make it through the next hour (not to mention the entire day!) 4=able to function, but not enjoying living. For the past five years I have been fluctuating in the 1 to 5 range.
