> - ScottI am very glad you are doing well, as I know how long it took you to find your 'mix'. Each of us...genetic blends...with uncertain ends...that's a song, I think..lol. I have found nortriptyline to be both energizing (likely it's norepinephrine effect) and sedating (anticholinergic effects). But, glad it is working!
I have come down on Effexor, from 150 to 75mg's, and after 3 weeks, I don't know why the heck I didn't do it sooner! But, I have added 10mg of Trintellix, and wow, after a month, with these 2 changes, I have become the more relaxed guy I *thought* I was...but the damn Effexor, at higher doses, was way, way too stimulating!! Trintellix apparently has some type of small effect on the cholinergic system, and I don't think it is anticholinergic. Maybe, a small bump up of choline transmission, with all my anticholinergics, is a good thing! We will see.
But, honestly, I haven't felt this good in years! (And it is far from hypomania....little ups and downs each day...but a feeling like..'Ya...I can handle it!!')
Best,
Jay :)P.s. I wish there was a (genuine) political party called "Let's All Be/Get Happy". Not 'toxic' phony happy...but just...let happy be a TRUE right. Let each person become a kid again! Ok, I am really going on here..lol. ADD and Asperger's....uhhyyeee..
