I saw my pdoc today. He agreed to do Marplan, but I have to discontinue the Dexedrine (60mg/day) until whatever my final dose of Marplan is going to be and reintroduce it.
I am scared to death of relapsing (substance abuse) due to lack of impulse control given that I have to come off of the Dexedrine.
That sure was a nice month of feeling normal ... here's hoping I made the right choice.
I don't have much of a support network out there, so I am glad to have you guys and this forum.
This is going to be one foggy month ... and it was so nice to finally be able to focus again. And I still have tapering off of clonazepam in the future, too.
It took 1.5 years to reach 60mg/day of Dexedrine on Nardil. I asked him this time if it would take that much time again. He said no, not that much time, but it would still have to be gradual.
I'm going to have to work on letting go of resentment toward myself for discontinuing the Nardil, because I wouldn't have to go through this had I not dropped out of treatment. I'd still be on Nardil, and then have the Dexedrine back.
Wish me luck! ;-)
