>Hi Leonardo,
I agree with everything you have said about your treatment stratergy. I'll be thinking about you and wishing you well. Please keep us posted on your progrees. I'd love to hear your reactions to the Zoloft and Effexor. I will do the same with any new drugs that I try.
I'm off the Reboxetine know and hope to begin my trial of andrafinil and amisulpride by the end of next week. I let you know how it goes.
Blessings & best wishes,
Kathy
Hi Katz

> I haven't had chance to try the amisulpride/adrafinil, but I will try to get some. I am in a 4 week washout period from deprenyl at the moment before my Pdoc will let me start Zoloft. I am willing to risk taking Ritalin at this time, it is quick acting and quick to clear, but it may not be worth starting the amisulpride/adrafinil as it takes a while to take effect, and would confuse things when I start the Zoloft.

> I hope the stuff works for you! Keep us posted. I will keep working on my Pdoc for the ADHD and a trial of stims, but I think I need to trial at least Zoloft and Effexor before he will agree...

If it works, it sounds like it would be a kinder, gentler albeit very effective treatment. I know that you can't order from sources inside your own country but I'm sure you can find sources elsewhere, e.g. Mexico, Italy, etc. Perhaps someone with that information could post it here.

Now that I am beginning my dosing during the daytime, I doubt I will have a problem sleeping. In the event that I do, I will keep your Paxil suggestion in mind although I would really hate to increase my seratonin levels under any circumstances. Infact, now that I think about it, if sleep does become a problem, I think Melatonin might be a better choice for me.

> > Leonardo, if you believe you have ADHD you should discuss it with your doctor immediately. He might be willing to introduce the stims more readily. I don't believe that I have either ADHD or ADD although I do believe there is some frontal lobe inactivity involved which is causing my anhedonia and possibly my social phobia. Who knows, unless one can actually look at the brain activity, it's just speculation as to what is really going on.
