I am taking conventional meds (was trying amino acids but decided I needed to treat the acute depression asap because I have a baby and need to get myself together and take care of him). Doc has me now on pristiq every other day, adderall 10mg and vyvanse 30mg, and requip 5mg (at night for mood and ssri sexual dysfunction), memantine for stimulant tolerance. Things were going well but the stimulants began to stop working last week (I do take a day or two off every week) and asked doc about a change and he told me to wait but today I am so so depressed and feel so stuck. I have a very long day with my baby who is very fussy and my husband won't be home in such a long time, and I would like to take something along with my meds - dlpa, ginko biloba, 5htp, l-theanine, l-tyrosine, rhodiola rosea, or anything! I have a bunch of things I bought, but don't know what will help. I am so depressed and know I need to see my shrink, but just need to make it through today if anyone has any thoughts on any kind of way to pick myself up even for a short while to make it through today and take care of my baby. I just want to crawl in bed and hide, and cry under the covers. Any suggestions on any of these for a quick pick me up, I'm so depressed! I know that with the adderall I need to watch my bp, and have a cuff and will watch, but am desperate to get out of this hole. Please help! Thank you!
