> Shellie: I had Nardil poop out 5 years ago, after being on the drug 11 years. I tried many new meds and med combinations, but it wasn't until I put Nardil, Wellbutrin, Vivactil, dexedrine and yohimbe together that I started to get better. (I had figured out in the meantime that Nardil was still doing some small good). I take a very small dose of yobimbe, since it has potential interactions with Nardil. I've had no problems with it, and for me it is stimulating --- a good thing. Also- Vivactil is a tricyclic, but it affects me much differently than the other ones I tried (amitriptyline and despramine. ) They knocked me out and I was sleeping l8 hours a day, even a month into the trial. In contrast, I find Vicactil (protriptyline) to be energizing. ..I hope you find what you need.Stephanie,
I was reading your post and couldn't help wondering how you can handle all those stimulant meds at once(the 4 others beside Nardil).
Do you take small amounts of each, for a synergistic effect?
Anyway, I'm glad they are working for you. You must have had a lot of fatigue related to your depression, much like myself. Did you ever try parnate?
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Anthony
