hi. I got 40 tablets of Adrafinil ordered in the mail. I am currently recovering from a severe suicidal phase of depression which was too much mind torture to bare. This was on Wednesday Oct 17th and the 4 days previous to that. By Wednesday they took me to another mental hospital because they considered me a high risk patient. after stopping my old meds and being put back on zyprexa I have started to feel better. On friday I was discharged.So now I am going to try adrafinil with my current zyprexa 5mg. Before on just zyprexa I was not doing too badly. It seemed actually livable. As in no mind torture and able to enjoy things a bit. So I am hoping being just on Zyprexa will return me to such a state. A state where there would still be a lot of depression left but at least it would be moderate instead of very severe.
I just took my first adrafinil 300mg pill a few minutes ago. Can I expect improvement in my depression in the next few days? I have read how there is some effect in just 3 days and then a much greater positive effect in a few weeks. I only have a 40 pill supply. With such a supply can I expect to be noticably helped by this medication? I have read that it can be taken along with zyprexa. When should I take it though? In the morning? With or without food? After food? My depression creates a severe inability for me to think and concentrate. Even reading can be difficult. I take it since Adrafinil is a stimulant it will work well for such specific symptoms?
Also my depression has been made much worse by anti depressants. I have tried paxil, prozac, effexor (made me suicidal and caused me to admit myself to a mental hospital), and wellbutrin. Although I have not been made worse by zyprexa which is an anti phychotic. I take it not to expect to be made worse by adrafinil? Since it is in a different class than the usual AD's.
And has anyone here had a positive experience or know of someone who has with Adrafinil?
Please reply. I have high hopes for this med
