30 mg, the starter dose.
I'm also on desipramine so, I'm not starting from zero but woah - compared to how I've been on mirtazapine.
I've clearly identified that noradrenaline in the implicated neurotransmitter for myself - serotonin does less than squat.
So from that point of view I have been endeavoring to potentiate the noradrenergic effect.
I had a poor response to a high dose of desipramine, lethargy etc.
So the starter dose has been okay.
So using the alternative mechanism of noradrenergic enhancement via alpha 2 adrenergic blockade, with alpha 1 to inhibit increased serotonergic release.
Awesome.
I studied for an hour this morning, then went to the gym.
Normally, that's enough to leave me wiped for the rest of the day.
I took a quick nap, caught a movie - then, much to my surprise, I found I had energy to get off the bed.
So I studied for another hour and half, made dinner, and cleaned the kitchen of my pig-sty student accommodation, which I'm currently forced to live in due to finances.
And now here I sit, tapping away on my keyboard - full of vim.
This is the first day.
I took a dose last night.
If this is a sign of things to come....
Could this spell the end of the 10 year nightmare of social reclusion, junkie'esque presentation and living conditions, unemployment, broken relationships - and all the things that accompany chronic fatigue heavy depression?
I don't want to count my chickens but - the noradrenergic strategy has definitely reaped the hypothetical rewards thus far.
Let's hope it continues to.
