UPDATE:
Its day 4 of my Sinemet experience and I know that the Abilify should almost be out of my system. I just popped my first half of pill. the 25/100. A little anxious that I did so, but we'll see how it goes. The last few doses have been baby doses of 1/4. I'll post later today on how this half dose works out.
For the last few days however, there has been some good and bad.
The GOOD - Lots of motivation and clearer head. I've worked out a few times, talked more than ever to strangers and friends, and also got more work done in general. Visuals did seem a bit better.
The BAD - I had some twitching in my left thumb and right index finger. Very strange sensation. Also, my heart felt a little heavy and with some anxiety thrown in. Keep in mind that I am very sensitive to caffeine and dopamine in general. My GAD (Generalized Anxiety) is the culprit here. I am hoping that once the Abilify leaves my system this will help out.
With all that said, Lamictal helped me while I took it the most when I took it. I however developed a rash. I had to quit after a week.
And get this. 4 years ago I was doing OK on Cymbalta. I quit because I wanted to have sex again. My libido was shot! I then had a doctor put me on "Risperdal". As most of you HPPDers know now, is that is the worse stuff for us. I had panic attacks in my sleep, saw purple, and have "never" been the same. Been in a really bad place since. Knowing that Risperdal reduces dopamine maybe let's me think that is why Sinemet my possibly work for us. More time will tell.
Thanks guys,
Greg
