I'm currently taking 300 mg. Effexor + 8 mg. Reboxetine. Feeling better with Effexor then when i was on TCA's (Imipramine, Amytryptiline made anhedonia and lack of motivation worse). Moreover, i don't feel "medicated" (less numbed and dull) on Effexor even though i'm on a high dose (probably due to lack of anticholinergic effects). I feel more sleepy and extremely fatigued though. I'm taking supplements to battle fatigue and PMS (vitamin B6 and B12, vitamin C, minerals, acethil carnitine, NADH).
I've recently taken hormones testing wich came out normal. PMS is really awful as i start getting negative, suicidal thoughts and have crying spells when i hit the mid cycle phase. I feel much better the same day i get my period. feel decently well for about ten days and then i go down again. I've managed to get adafrinil to fight off Effexor induced fatigue and day time sleepiness. I'm afraid 300 mg. dose it's too high though, and i'm starting to doubt wether it can be safely combined with Adafrinil at that dose. Moreover, it could supposedly numb Adafrinil beneficial effects. Could 225-150 mg. Effexor a wiser augmenting strategy?Thanks for listening
