I can definitely attest to that. Im on 130mg Parnate, 75mg Desoxyn and 15mg Dexedrine (plus Klonopin, Abilify, lithium). No shame or self-judgment, but its getting kinda ridiculous with the numbers. The meds work but I barely feel like Im taking any stimulant at all, even short days when I smoosh my doses closer together (=higher levels). Could be just the side-effect-free nature of Desoxyn, or just massive tolerance but surely its frustrating being on all this and still sluggish.
Either way, what got it working again somewhat was incr Parnate from 100mg to 130mg. I second attempting a dose up, and if that doesnt work perhaps adjunctive stimulating med. Sometimes its simply a matter of what our brain needs, whatever that looks like.

But stupidly, I then reduced the olanzapine ever so slightly, and that was a huge mistake,because the whole mix now does not work and I dont know what to do. Ive gone back on the 2.5 mg olanzapine but its not working. Is it only me, who is so sensitive to changes in doses of meds ? Any ideas gratefully received. At the time olanzapine was a miracle - but it didnt make me sleep.Parnate is different to nardil, because of the insomnia it causes. At the moment Im taking 40 mg parnate and 2.5 mg olanzapine.
