Hi,
You and I are in the exact situation. I'm now off Nardil with the thought to resume a trial of meds to include a stimulant. Besides MAO's, the only other success of any type in the 20+ years of being on meds has been a combo of Wellbutrin, Celexa and Adderall (about 5-7 yrs ago).
I don't think it was so much the Celexa and/or Wellbutrin but the addition of Adderall that made a difference.
My new trial will begin this week and I have a feeling we will try Adderall again as it has worked in the past.
My experimentation with Nardil and a tiny dose of generic Adderall was positive but my doc was never on board with the Nardil/Stim combo. Just to convince him to add wellbutrin (which I'm still on) to Nardil took an act of Congress and was based on research I had done.
But in any event, that is my plan. I thought somewhere I had noted that you had memory and concentration issues but then today I don't see those under your profile. I actaully responded last night to you but unfortunately the post never went thru. This is my followup post as I wanted to answer you right away.
Any ideas for your next meds? I would definately suggest a stim if you have never tried one,as it might be the key for you as well.
I'll follow this post and we can work on our next steps with eachother's help/advice.
Thanks.
