FWIW I'm MAOI free for about 30 days! There were a lot of ups and downs, scattered and fractured thinking, rage, confusion, social anxiety.
I added tianeptine sulfate and it seems to help me from scraping bottom. not sure what it's doing now if anything. Certainly helped with nausea.
Now I'm just taking 100-150 mgs lamictal, .35 klonopin at night, and 25mg tianeptine. PRN: 2.5mgs ritalin, propranolol for anger and anxiety, and agmatine sulfate.
Both tianeptine and Lamictal (brand name) give me headaches, so now I'm battling a mother migraine and nausea. I'm back to dealing with the side effects of headaches, neck and esophageal spasm, tight throat, and ruminative anxiety from the Lamictal, a lot of which was obscured by the loads of other meds.
I can sleep without any meds through the night and wake up at 7am for the first time in years, which is nice.
Social anxiety is not handled. I'm not flat out depressed and empty but I don't have much drive. This feels weird compared to my compuslive behavior on MOAIs. I feel like too much tianeptine makes me calm but a little too calm and disinterested. It might be boosting my sex drive.
The T creates some confusion although when mixed with the lamictal it's pretty bad. Always much worse in the AM than the afternoon.
Also getting used to not really needing stimulants to get through the day. I'm way more sensitive to them now and I think they create bounce-back confusion and anger.
I ate Blue Cheese last night :) Hopefully its not where the nausea is coming from.
