For at least 6 years.

I don't think so. Actually, I tried lowering the dosage last week. I felt considerably worse, so raised it back up and added another 50mg.
> And do you think the nortriptyline could be part of the problem?
I doubt it, but it won't hurt to keep that thought as a possibility.
> Maybe adding something that hits 5HT would help balance things?
Many people respond well to Wellbutrin + SRI. I will certainly consider it.
> Or, what was your reaction to Provigil, again?
I didn't like that drug. It made my depression horribly worse, and I couldn't justify continuing the trial beyond two weeks.

Thanks. I appreciate the warm sentiments.
(I'm still secretly hoping that this stuff will start working again by this time next week. Don't tell anyone).
