Another afterthought about med combos |
I previously posted a message about combining Paxil, Effexor, and
tianeptine, along with a low dose of Deprenyl daily. I also have
access to reboxetine, which I understand is primarly a SNRI. When I
took it before, it seemed to bother my eyesight but I was taking the
recommended dose of 8 mg a day. I'm thinking about cutting back on the
dosage to maybe 4 mg a day and see what that does. I'm thinking more
in terms of increasing the chemicals in my body that will stimulate my
motivation and "get-r-done" attitude, which I understand that
reboxetine would be great for. I know that Effexor also blocks
reuptake of norephedrine but the dose I take is small and maybe
reboxetine would be a plus.
Let me say that I'm not much of a believer in OTC health foods and
remedies. I've tried them all and they just don't have an effect on
me. I'd rather stick with the prescription meds that I know cause
changes in my thinking than messing everything up by adding something
like DMAE or DHEA or ALCAR that may interfere with the actions of the
prescript meds.
So this is another question for everyone to ponder and think about.
Most of you are certainly more experienced and knowledgable about these
subjects than I am.

It might be a good idea to taper off the tianeptine gradually, one place to
check for further detailed answers would be sci.med.pharmacy, they are more
knowledgeable then we are concerning these types of meds.

My first thought is that you are taking way too many drugs if your
objective is more energy. Deprenyl (Selegiline) or Wellbutrin will
accomplish that. What other problems, if any, are you trying to solve?

When I took an SNRI my eyes felt like they were bulging out too. I can
understand you wanting to take a bigger coctail of meds, but something I
noticed is that when I was taking tons of meds was that it was
superficially increasing my mood, but when you take in account that I
got high blood pressure, kidney pain, and was sedated all day, I was
physically feeling worse, which affected my mood too. I hope you can
find what works for you.

You're considering some novel combinations of meds. You've obviously
done research, you understand how they work and you have experience
with others. People on ASD may be able to tell you their experiences
with certain meds, but the kind of complicated stuff you're interested
in doing is best handled by a trained doctor. If you're merely asking
for references, that seems fine.

have you tried wellbutrin, alone or in combination? it gives
me more energy. i'm taking it with cymbalta. that gave me
energy, but still not enough drive. we just added remeron to
the mix, and a consultant who was brought in suggested that if
the remeron didn't do enough that we should add a
psychostimulant.
