Dextromethorphan tolerance builds so rapidly. I have found the withdrawal to be hell after taking it legitimately for a cold longer than I realized. I have tried SSRIs and found that they also have a synergetic effect with Bupropion (good medicine). SSRIs also make me drowsy, but at least they can be sustainably taken daily for months.
- mmastrac 4y agoI had good luck with a prescribed combo of modafinil + buproprion. No drowsiness, much higher motivation.
- epicureanideal 4y agoModafinil alone didn’t have that effect?
- floatinglotus 4y agoWhat dosage of modafinil?
- mmastrac 4y agoPretty low, but I tend to find lower doses than average to be effective.
- mmastrac 4y agoIt helped, but the combo beat both depression and lack of motivation much more effectively.
- gremlinsinc 4y agoSounds like me, except Vyvanse instead of Modafinol. Bupropion was the magic key. I thought my Vyvanse just wasn't working anymore. Turns out I was just super depressed. Since switching meds I've lost a lot of weight because I don't have food cravings as much. The way I think of it... Vyvanse keeps me focused when I get to work, but without Bupropion just getting out bed sometimes seems daunting. One gets me to start my day, the other keeps me focused when I do.
- hungrigekatze 4y agoDoes that lower the seizure threshold at all? (I've had docs get on my case about bupropion + mild other medication that can in theory impact the seizure threshold) But I'd be interested - potentially - in trying this combo as things are pretty cobwebby in the brain department lately.
