I think that my new doctor is a winner! He had prescribed me 100mg of Zoloft, 40mg of Matadate CD and 1mg of Klonopin, "only to be taken as needed for my panic attacks." Next visit I will ask if I could take the Klonopin everyday to releive my anticipatory anxiety and social phobia.
There aren't many reviews on Matadate CD? It is like Ritalin, the same drug that elivated my anxiety. I don't understand why I would be prescribe this when I despritly want to control my anxiety. The Zoloft can also increase anxiety but on the other hand, it is suppose to be helpful? I am concerned about being on such a high dose!
I may change my script from Zoloft/Matadate CD to Dexadrine/another AD. The Dexadrine can counter the fatigue of the Klonopin which Metadate can not match. I am assuming it is true that Dex causes the least anxiety of all stimulants? It is a shame I can't augment some Nardil with Dexadrine. How dangerous is it to use Nardil with Metadate CD/Ritalin? I would take this over Zoloft since it is the best for depression and SP, without side-effects.
I could replace the Zoloft with Effexor. Would Effexor have any added benefits when combined with a stimulant, different then an SSRI and could it be used to additionally treat the ADHD?
I read that Parnate produces a stimulating effect on the brain. Can Parnate be helpful for ADHD?
Also, I am anxious to see how good this ADHD drug Strattera will be. Do we know if it will be safe with an MAOI?
