Thanks guys for the posts.
Regarding Abilify I asked my pdoc here in Canada and it is not available here yet.
maybe it has a different name in Canada?
Anyway I'm going to keep trying this remeron and hope it does something but i know i felt better when i was off it. I feel even more like a zombie than i did before.
I was meeting girls on paxil + ativan + ritalin/modafinil
and now I feel like i am too quiet and too boring and too dull to meet people but i still do on occasion but I am not proud of myself when I do.
Ill try and get more info on abilify and see if i am able to get it. along with those deprenyl, or
rhodiola whatever those are. I will do some research.
