Your success on this combo has intrigued me, so I have a few questions for you, mainly what type of depressives would respond best to this combo. My symtoms are lack of energy, lack of motivation, no confidence, no real joy in my life, fear of being judged, no excitement, and social withdrawl. I feel bored and worthless. Were these symtoms similar to yours before you tried this combo? I was thinking of combining these with low-dose Prozac and Klonopin, as you have suggested. I've always felt unconfident and socially anxious, but the depression is somewhat new to me (2yrs.). I'm guessing it has to do with my past abuse of MDMA. Caffeine makes me feel much more focused, motivated and happy. GHB totally wipes out my social anxiety, but causes anger and reckless behaviour, as well as rebound anxiety and hard depression for days afterwards. I also feel much better in the morning. Would you suggest this combo? Can it induce mania? During the summer I did steriods (500mg. of testosterone per week) and it brought on rapid cycling of up and down periods (about 5 days of each before cycling back). This has stopped, but I feel I may be prone to it. I've never tried any meds. (except 5-htp, which worked okay with depression), nor have I been to see a doctor, although I plan on going soon. So, what's your advice? Try it or not? You seem really knowledgable and helpful so I thought I'd ask. Thanks alot.
