DRI's????

Posted by b2chica on July 25, 2013, at 11:32:01

uuuugh!!!!!! just lost long post.


ok lets see if i can recreate it.

i need some assistance.
my depression has creeped in. and i have terrible akathisia going on.

Akathisia first, its only really affecting me at nights. i dont know if it is the
Vyvanse or the haloperidol that has caused it? any guesses.
i noticed before i was taking haloperidol off and on but i really noticed it when i started vyvanse, it became intense. i was taking .5 haldol and now upped to 1mg and that seems to help a lot if i take it at least an hour or two before bedtime, thought still present.

any suggestions as to what to do to stop it? or which is the cause.

*************
Next, my mood. ok. there are two possible causes psychological (due to my job loss) or biological due to:
1. Pristiq finally pooped out and old adderall was keeping it covered,
2. Vyvanse just isn't up to the job (which i did notice its not nearly as effective as the old adder all)
3. haloperidol is onsetting some depression

So are there any suggestions as to what i may do next?
1. go for trying new AD
2. drop the haloperidol
3. try another stimulant? (if there's even one left that i haven't tried) -ive been on (Strattera, Ritalin, Ritalin LA, Adderall (4 mfg's), Dexedrine different strengths, and now Vyvanse (at max of 70mg daily)

**************************

i have appt with pdoc on aug 9th (soonest i could get in).

also, i know that the stims really seem to make a difference. I'm wondering if there are any DRI's out there that are used as AD's? or if there are any DRI's that anyone may suggest or list as possibilities?

i know i'm probably headed toward nardil but that means a total washout and i'm hoping to go on some interviews and dont want to be homebound or in outpatient hospital. then again while i'm unemployed is the time to do med switch.
ALSO, my insurance ends the 31st of this month.... :(

anyway. any assistance is grateful.
thank you
