Hi, yes, that's pretty much what I am taking. I take 1.5mg klonopin daily and have .5 xanax as an emergency med. which I do not like to take--benzos in general i am very wary of.... But I just had to feel better. I take the klonopin on schedule, not on an as need basis. I turned a corner with the dexedrine--made me feel what I imagine normal might be. And I think the pristiq is working for me, though it was slow to show. Now in perspective, this regime is new, from late Feb to early March. I was on wellburtin, librium, deplin, lexapro, prozac, abilify, serqueol (sp?), tradzedone (I'm just looking back at this last year's med journal). I also have two sleep aides, Sonata (which I favor) and Lunesta. I take the sonata a few times a week (at least).
Before I started treatment for ADHD this Feb I was in bad shape: depression, anxiety, SOCIAL PHOBIA. When my pdoc prescribed dexedrine I was shocked, but so far so good....I don't take my health for granted. Wish me luck as I do you.
keep us posted--you'll find a combination that will work.

> Are you taking Pristiq, dexedrine, and Klonipin? Is that all you are taking? If so, how is it working? Sounds like meds I could tolerate so I am actually thinking MAYBE there is hope for me as this is a combination I haven't tried (yet I too took dexedrine before and have had succes in the past with Effexor, Valium, and Librium, so Maybe this would work for me)I just wanted to see if these are the only meds you are taking? Just curious- I know we are all different but- I am willing to try anything if it has any chance of working and this is a combination I haven't tried that actually seems to make sense!
