Interesting. Low doses can be better; serotonin + norepiniphrine; and wellbutrin isn't always the cure-all. I have actually never tried marijuana, but I thought that it induced more of a lack of motivation?
Ya, I don't have much hopes for Strattera & it actually kind of scares me that it could make me worse. I started out on 1/4 of 10mg - 10mg is the normal starting dose in the pack. Just got to 10mg. It's definitely not helping - but I don't think it's making it worse (so far anyway). I read someone's experience with it that struck me. She had a very positive experience with it for her adhd and could finally "hear the passage of time". What? For me the passage of time is screaming and annoying.
I ordered Trivastal from United Pharmacies and it didn't help, although there were only 10 pills. I'm hoping that they were fake and that I might still have success on Requip or Mirapex.
I guess the SNRIs are serotonin + norepinephrine. I've tried those too. I tried Pristiq a year or two ago and I started to have worse cyclothymia - more often & more intense. 2pm or 10am could come around and wham- mood plunge.
I am on 300mg of Wellbutrin. I've been on and off of it before. I think it helps a little. I did try and go up to 400mg once and I didn't like it.
Thanks for responding and for the info.
