Thanks for the info on Effexor, I can't know exactly what it's doing for me, but to hear that it made you tired makes me wonder. Also I know the zyprexa is making me tired. I don't know what to do. I guess I won't know anything until I try different things I'm just so scared of my acute neurosis, I don't want to go through that ever again, I'd so much rather die.
Two things are very clear, my energy is quite low on 12.5mg zyprexa, 80mg Prozac, 225mg effexor, 15mg Remeron, and 4mg clonazepam. Then when the Modafinil is added, due to some sort of interaction, it does the opposite of what it's supposed to and knocks me out - I have to be dragged out of bed at 2pm. What I need to do is make systematic adjustments, and keep track of the results. But I'm scared, my anxiety is profound, it's a horrific demon. I'll call my neuropsychiatrist or a pharmacist tomorrow and ask them why they think the modafinil is knocking me out.
Thanks again
Ben
