I agree with you guys. It would be nice if your doctor could just choose the pharmacological mechanisms you need and create custom made medications. Maybe someday far in the future that will be possible, when targeting certain receptors becomes easier and health begins to outweigh profit.
I have heard that drugs with antihistamine properties can be sedating but I have a friend that takes Remeron at night and he's fine. I have read that the higher the dose of Remeron the more it stimulates noradrenic receptors and activates you.Maybe, you're right about the stimulant Brainbeard. I basically have no anxiety so I think I could handle the dopamine boost and it would probably help with the ADHD like symptoms I've had since quitting prozac.
I had read some of your posts on the anhedonia topic and had wondered why you didn't try a stimulant instead of going the serotonin route, but if it gives you anxiety that makes sense.
I'm taking Wellbutrin SR 150 twice a day now and so far it seems like it mainly works on noradrenaline, making me kinda edgy and easily startled but not really doing anything for the emotional blunting and cognitive problems yet.
I just wonder if 5mg prozac would give enough 5HT2C stimulation with little reuptake inhibition.
