As you know, imiptrypiline is a good AD, but the newer ADs like Cymbalta really do pack a punch-- reports of energy levels increasing and motivation are appearing on this board, likely due to its 5HT+NE affects combined.no, haven't tried Cymbalta. I apparently have a svere case of narcolepsy, along with my previous diagnosis of ADD- the depression comes with the territory. I'm reasonably happy with the way nortriptyline keeps my mood up, but energization- only Provigil did that, and it came with bizarre side effects. How would you compare Ritalin with other stims in terms of energization? I take 40 mg and still feel depleted. Btw I am really skinny- weigh about 56 kg- so I am approaching the limit (or so I have read) of 1 mg/kg for methylphenidate dosing. I do think I need 50 mg to give Ritalin a fair trial. I take 30 mg Ritalin LA at 6 am and 10 mg at noon. I think it was the SR formulation that sucked- the LA is supposed to be like taking half a tablet at once and half four hours later. is any other stim better at keeping you awake? as it is I am in a fog without tons of caffeine and I wonder what good the Rit is doing me.
