Pharmacist had a chuckle soon after I asked for Dopezil 5mg (Indian brand of Donepezil made by Ranbaxy)
"For whom sir?"
"For myself"The guy looks again in disbelief. "I never sold this to...."
Anyway, escaping the scene I got back to my apartment. Twenty white tablets. I took my dinner early to swallow one of them. Half of that Ativan 2mg too. It is a precaution. If I ever get manic or hypomanic..? Ativan can answer.
I went to bed earlier but things started to improve.. I mean really improve. For the first time in many months, I felt like going out for a movie or doing something at retiring hours. There was a pile of magazines left untouched. I started on them.
Clock ticks
..00 13 14 15...Gee.. I am not thinking of sleeping at all. Everything seems different to me. Razor-sharp focus.. Want to do something late at night when the whole New Delhi is sleeping..!
I went to bed by 3am. No weird dreams as someone mentioned on this board. There were dreams for sure, but I don't remember them anymore. Great..It was 10:00am
It didn't surprise me as I woke up and began functional instantly. The brightest morning in a long time. I did sleep seven hours. Perhaps it(sleep) could be ativan? I don't think so. Ativan is not a new med for me. I have taken it and stayed disturbed in bed many times.
Is it too early to get buzzed? Okay.. I would keep you all updated. If "first impression is the best impression" I would say this one is way better than Trivastal or Provigil. And see it is cheap here: Less than 5 US dollars for twenty pills..! Oh.. this is India where meds are dirt cheap.
Now see my cocktail:
Prozac 60mg in the morning.
Modalert 200mg in the morning (Modalert = Provigil)
Solian (Amisulpride) 50mg at night. (It is sold as "Sulpitac" here)
Donepezil 5mg at night.
Ativan Occasionally. (I can skip days and restart again. Dosage is 2mg)I know meds; especially Aricept is cost prohibitive in US and Europe. Do one thing: Get a prescription from your doc and order it online. The stuff you get will be from SUN pharma, the second largest generic manufacturer in India with a brand name "Donecept" (Ranbaxy doesn't provide their products online)But don't worry at all. All those meds I take are Indian generics and I haven't felt them any different to the real ones.
Please wait for my update, tomorrow at the same time.
Cheers.
