Sorry about that, I should have been more clear about protriptyline-- I was using the word 'narcoleptic' to indicate that it was prescribed occasionally for narcolepsy/ADHD. Aren't there some other TCA's used for this purpose as well? Maybe desipramine?
I suppose it's pretty irrational, but for some reason I'm a little scared to try a NE-increasing medication. Especially considering how often I hear of Wellbutrin causing horrible anxiety; I couldn't put up with that. On the other hand, I know Wellbutrin isn't a selectively NE active drug-- maybe a low dose (10mg) of propranolol several times a day would help even things out? After all, psychic anxiety isn't really much of a problem for me while taking the clonazepam/buspirone. It's the peripheral effects of increased NE that I worry about.
