> A mix of Provigil and Trivastal does wonders for me.

> (For people in U.S getting Trivastal can be a problem. Mirapex would be an option, since both acts on same receptors.

> But Mirapex is not a perfect substitute for Trivastal, since piribedil has actions on noradrenergic receptors too. So, adding a tiny dose of Strattera should be considered. A small dose of 10mg should do the trick.

> It is not the end. For OCD sufferers, a dopaminergic is not a viable option, since it can aggravate compulsions in both short and long run.
>
> So, consider taking an SSRI. If you are on any, keep on it. If you are not, and have compulsive tendencies add a small dose of either Prozac or Zoloft. 10mg of Prozac or 25mg of Zoloft would be enough.

> For sleeping, a small dose of Neurontin.

> My cocktail:
>
> 1. Provigil 300mg.
> 2. Prozac 20mg
> 3. Trivastal Retard 100mg.
> 4. Neurontin 600mg.
>
> All in the morning except Neurontin. The dose is divided as 300mg bid.

> And this has been superb for me so far. I had lost all hopes for overcoming my most stubborn anhedonia. Now, I am adamant; anhedonia is treatable. Be patient enough to get adjusted to your drug. Meanwhile don't ever touch a benzo. They will spoil the fun altogether.

>You have upped the dose of trivastal from 50 mg to 100 mg? what difference have you noticed?
