Hi Diane.....well, back on Pristiq again....the other combos and I even tried Effexor was not ood....felt awful and tired....so, I am going to try 50mgs of Pristiq with 1mg of Edronax to see if a little serotonin with a lot more norepinephrine will pull me out into the real world again...I cannot tolerate high doses of the Edronax, so I am seeing if a low dose add on to the starting dose of Pristiq will help...I know this will take a couple weeks to see if at all it helps...just took the first dose of 1mg Edronax this morning...have been back on Pristiq for 2 weeks.....it seems when I try to upp my Pristiq dose to 100mgs, which is what I took before, it makes me more tired....I think it is the extra serotoni that comes along with the extra norepinephrine that gives me the tiredness.....that is why I am thinking that the 50mg dose of Pristiq WITH ONLY some extra Norepinephrine may be the answer.....I was thinking of adding on Wellbutrin to this, but I had a seizure when I was 8 yrs. old and they say if u ever had a seizure, Wellbutruin should not be taken.....I was tested for everything under the sun and nothing came up wrong....just a fluke incident that occurred around the time I was switching from an all girls school to a co-ed school......I believe high anxiety may have been the cause......never had another one in my life...knock on wood!!!! But I do have a high anxiety level that I now control with AD's......and xanax! Ok, let me know your thoughtts on this.....I still feel foggy, not so depressed, not having anxiety, but not myself...I don't really leave the house much, no motivation to exercise, put on makeup, look nice....I am hoping I get pulled out of this because this is not me at all....I used to be vibrant, showered everyday, cared about the way I looked.......I am not that woman anymore and that alone makes me very sad.....I wake up everyday tired.....takes naps often.....I pray that one day God lifts me out if this funk and puts me on a positive, happy road...like I know I could be......I watch my neighbor who is my age with 2 kids everyday, have vibrant energy, a good work ethic a get up and go attitude and I want that...so badly.....everyday is such an effort...I want my energy to be effortless again.....pray for me Diane...I really need it......love, b.
