> Wow that got me too!!! "A wasted life", are the pitiful words I have always used to describe mine. As for everything else you have written, Gracie, they are words that could have come from my own mouth. I have just begun a trial of amisulpride and andrafinil. I was wondering, if you're still out there, how you made out with this dazzling duo? Did they work for you?

Amisulpride and Adrafinil are still working well for me. I didn't think results could be made any better, but recently I switched my sleep medicine from small dose Remeron(7.5mg)to small dose Zyprexa(3.3mg). I used to sleep a lot better on Remeron, but the last few months it seemed to have lost its umph. I felt so much better with Zyprexa in about 24 hours! Sleep is much better, and my mood is much brighter. I was sure it was a fluke, yet the goodness continues day after day. So my main drugs are Adrafinil and Amisulpride, with a little Prozac in the background (seems to work like a turbocharger for the other drugs, but does little by itself) with small dose Zyprexa for sleep.If anyone asked what I took to cure my depression, I would have to say an antidepressant, a stimulant, and two antipsychotics. Yikes. It sounds heavy duty. In actuality though all the doses are at or below minimum doses, so it's actually pretty conservative. And it works. That's all I care about. Too much of my life has already been wasted. I don't want to go back to that. Whatever works is just fine with me.
