Dx: MDD, OCD(mainly O)
Rx: Milnacipran, Modafinil, LorazepamAfter 8 weeks of upping and downing and changing Milnacipran doc and i have decided to keep me at 25 mg once daily.
MODAFINIL, which i started today has had some strange effects on me. First one is a general feeling of being sleep deprived, even tho i had slept better than most days. Eyes are fixed gaze without blinking, noticed several times. Dry mouth and eyes. Sudden feelings of freshness, interperssed with bouts of drowsiness... Exacerbation of obsessions. Spent the whole day obsessing over my own thoughts and emotions.
Strange feeling of being disconnected and in a haze.
Felt a strange sense of pensiveness, bordering on anxiety without panic.
Mood elevation, which lasted like a few blips,.. But put me at unease.. Felt disconnected with my own emotions.. Perhaps the over obsession,
Heightened focus, extra sensitive to sounds, irritable.
An overall feeling of being in chronic sleep deprivation. What is ofgreat concern to me is emergence of a sort of DPDR like feeling. Which came and stayed due to rem sleep mess created by Lexapro.
My doc took me off Lorazepam and wants to keep it as emergency for panic.
I dont think i can manage the sort of over wired feeling i have felt combined with anxiety
