maybe increasing prozac

i've been doing ok, my mood is flat from the lamictal.....but still i do get depressed and sometimes i think it has nothing to do with the meds....more over a spiritual or problem that doesnt deal with chemical alteration...

but i am on 60mg i take 3 20mg's in the morning....and still if i am going to be able to keep in class....prozac and nuvigil are the only things at the time to take care of ADD ... i have to deal with what i have, can't take amphetamine stimulints....

so....if it's moved to 80mg....it's just gonna increase more serotonin....maybe sero will increase better attention, but it doesnt give the stimulant dopamine increase.....im on meds that are not really ment to treat my real case....

i've thought of paranate but first my doc won't use it because she told me too many side effects and it's outdated.....and 2nd it has a wear off period leaving people tired from what i read here on babble....

is there anyone that can support thought this period...if i get into advanced classes, it's gonna require highenth attention and motivation to learn....it's like a computer from the 1990's trying to do the same thing as current PC's or ipad tablets....the system is gonna have a real hard time to converse into advanced programs...

but really this is more like a blog post, i have plenty of resonsees from previous posts on this issue....so...hopefully the prozac at 80mg will benefit some effect....

>prozac and nuvigil are the only things at the time to take care of ADD

Neither of which have any support for their efficacy in treating ADHD.

Ditch them both and ask to go on Wellbutrin, which is at least a 3rd or 4th line treatment for ADHD. Or ask for Strattera or Focalin.

PLEASE LISTEN TO ME. The nuvigil and prozac do nothing for your ADHD.
