Hi,
Edna, I'm curious what made you assume I was near Northwestern?
There are some really good replys for my posting I sincerely appreciate it from all of you. I have made 1 change today from these replys and will defenetly need to do more.
My depression is a high fatigue type disorder. My father had this also now that I look back. Without the help of a Norepinephrine reuptake supplement I will eat myself to obesety and sleep until my life is destroyed.
The particular Norepinephrine help aid I am taking is Wellbutrin. It was the first drug out of 3 years of experimentation that worked.
This wellbutrin allows me to work out, return back to normal weight, control my eating habits, feel good about myself and stay awake all day and get out in the world. I have fell a sleep during the day from what I can remember for the last 25 years.This last 3 weeks has been the deepest low I have encountered in a long time. I attribute it to the Strattera which I now stopped today.
What I gather from all of you are:
1) Try without meds, I have many times and I fall deep into severe depression. Hence this is not a option.
2) If I don't know if I'm out of depression I am probably not. This is a good point. Although I have energy I am not motivated nor happy (more emotionless). Tomorrow I am going to start a dopamine reuptake AD. This is supposed to help motivation and pleasure, I'll know in a couple weeks hopefully.
3) Therapy. Edna, I'll ask my P-doc about this. I don't know if this will be allowable because it may skew my results. You see I am in a multi University medical research treatment program, and my particular experiment did not include therapy.
If I was to seek therapy, is there something called "Post Depression" or something?Thanks for the replies, I sure hope this next week improves without this Strattera because this was defenetly a strong setback.
Thanks and cheers to all of you!
WAK,PS: somebody thought I was a female, interesting because being a male it may mean I have a feminine side.... (Thats good right)? :)
