Hey PBlers!
After taking a year off MPD after 5 years of ups and downs with the generic 20mgIR 4x daily, with a turn for the worse i decided to go back to the only AD that has worked in 15 years. Ramping up to 60mgs Fluoxetine, i felt more stable and balanced than i can remember, however after a year the dreaded demotivation, blaaaas set in. Instead of giving up on it i reintroduced MPD, But brand name Ritalin SR20mg tabs, which i have found to be the most effective MPD tabs and only have to be taken 2x a day.
Well after settling on 2, 20mgSR tabs 2x a day combined with the Fluox, things have been better than i can remember and i feel about as well as i can remember feeling, so well in fact that i'm contemplating returning to University to do a masters in Film studies. An added bonus is the decreased use of benzo needed, althought scripted 30mgs Diazepam daily, some times i don't take any!.
It feels so good to be back again after the being in the wilderness.
Don't give up folks, the sun will come out again-hang in there.
