Well I saw my pdoc today and told him straight out I had been experimenting with tiny doses of amphetamine along w Emsam. I told him another person (Laima) had done this and her pdoc had sanctioned this and I told him they were at Northwestern if he needed to speak with them. He said he had another pt who was using Emsam/Adderral combo, which surprised me since he is usually completely by the book...
Anyway, we agreed I would continue to use the short acting amphetamine that I had from previous script (substitute for Adderall)which I had taken last year when on Celexa.
He said I could go higher on the dosage and continue to monitor my BP/pulse which I told him I had been doing faithfully during the past few days trying amphetamines.
So, that's the direction I'm heading in and I feel like it is the right decision. My pdoc gave me full credit for figuring out that that is the missing component in my depression treatment.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed on it.
