John,
Since I started feeling lousy this morning on 10mg Prozac although not as bad as yesterday, I decided to another shot at Dr. Jansen's book. I happened to catch the part where he said that coffee may raise Noriprenephrine. As a result, I started thinking some more about my medical history.
I was on Effexor for about a year. It wasn't great although it was decent. But at the time, I wasn't on a stimulant along with it so I'm wondering if the combination might work since I definately seem to always do better when a stimulant is added to the mix? Wellbutrin just caused mild agiation although I wonder if I really got a true sense of it due to taking Zoloft at the same time.
But then again, when I was put on Zoloft and Adderall, that worked fantastic for about a year until the Adderall started becoming less effective. Raising the dose and switching to ritalin and dexedrine didn't work and because of the weight gain from zoloft, that's why the switch was made to prozac.
Bear with me, I am thinking out loud here. As I think about the prozac and the bit about the coffee getting me out of a bad medicine reaction, I am wondering if I might do well on your combination since I think too much prozac and adderall might be bad news.
I am definately going to mention Dr. Jensen at my next appointment on 11/28. But I also want some help sorting this all out in case my p-doc doesn't buy any of this and is only willing to prescribe certain medications.
Sorry for the long winded post but I am so confused. Also, I am just so damm sick of this and want to start living my life.
