I am trying to figure out how to proceed. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
History;
5/00 - started 20 mg Paxil for SA. No help with SA but improved effects relating to sexual activity.
6/00 - started buspar but stopped after 2 weeks
7/00 - Paxil 20 mg not effective for SA (however depression has improved) so dosage increased to 40 mg. Continued improved effects relating to sexual activity.
Mid 7/00 - difficulty sleeping with 40 mg. paxil so began taking trazodone. this helped with sleep but causes hangover effect in morning.
Mid 7/00 - started taking 300 mg Adrafinil daily. After a couple weeks increases mental alertness and energy level and counteracts morning hangover. Social Anxiety problems seem to reduce significantly.
8/00 - Adrafinil order backlogged and I ran out so went for 10 days without. Mental alertness decreases. Social Anxiety problems increase (though not as severe as without Paxil)
8/10 - Adrafinil supply arrives.
Trying to determine if I should phase out any of these meds (experiment) or continue with the combo that seemed to be working.
Also, could add the buspar back in if necessary.
Also, any thoughts on Piracetam?Feel like I have weaved a somewhat tangled web. Not sure how to proceed.
