Ed,
Yes, I take all three, but sometimes I don't take as much SJW out of laziness. I think Lamictal inhibits its own metabolism, which means that after a few weeks you have to raise the dose to get the same effect. Have you tried selegiline or Marplan? I'm sorry nothing has worked out for you. I'd say the meds I'm on now have about 80% of the effect I had with Nardil.

(I also tried Adrafanil/Amisulpride, and each alone, with negligible response). NE drugs do little for me, and SSRI drugs make me feel anxious, agitated and downright paranoid (as do stimulants like Ritalin, though when I was in college the stimulants were helpful for concentration and focus, with no untoward side effects). Thanks.
