Thanks for asking Scott. I am doing ok. It's been six days of withdrawal from 120mg. Today I will take 70mg and see my pdoc tomorrow. My appetite has markedly increases and I get some fatigue as well as some worsening in motivation and sleep quality (haven't been able to work out as much as I had been). Having very vivid dreams though I think this is more due to the 80mg of strattera.
I will be asking my pdoc tomorrow about possibly switching from strattera to a TCA like desipramine or nortryptiline if it helps pick up slack from parnate withdrawal.
I also started agomelatine and will remain on it for just a few weeks before surgery to help with Sleep and anhedonia,
Decided to not continue on abilify unless absolutely necessary due to weight gain which has been noticeable (more carb cravings) at even the lowest dose.
Also started trivastal RT 100-150mg per day. Have always done well on DA but mirapex poops out quickly, have never tried trivastal and interested because it's a partial agonist. I'm sure I will have to stop this med in 2 weeks as well before my surgery but again hoping it will help in interim. So yeah lots of things going on at once but so far mood has not sunk substantially....ask me next week when I'm off parnate totally :)
