Ditched Lamictal, Wellbutrin, substituted 2mg Klonopin for .5 to 1mg of Xanax. Taking a bunch of vitamins. Was feeling better until the trip to Costa Rica. Hope I'm not making a huge mistake. Hope you are doing well.

Insomnia is not always a bad thing. For me, it is a good sign that I will soon respond. Parnate desipramine was the first combination that worked for me. It was also the first treatment to produce insomnia in me.

That doesn't sound like a heck of a lot of fun.

How did you react to Effexor or Pristiq?
Has ADD/ADHD ever been proposed as a comorbid illness?
> Hope you are doing well.
Not too bad. That's pretty good.
