Looking for a little advice since you can trust the medical system about as much as any given Jew.My means of coping with the state of the world and my economic need to interact with normies is by taking anti-depressants. I bounced around between a few (and was toyed with by doctors in the process), but eventually landed on duloxetine and clomipramine in combination. The duloxetine is for the anxiety and depression symptoms while the clomipramine helps with PTSD and OCD symptoms I suffer from. For about two to three years I was vomiting and dissociating daily, and so was obviously happy to get relief from that at any cost. The dosage that finally gave me relief was duloxetine DR 60mg BID and clomipramine 75mg with dinner. Now that I am mostly stable (and do not find myself in a daily struggle not to kill myself), I am noticing more and more the negative effects of this high dose. I have chronic brain fog and fatigue, and have NEAR ZERO ability to find joy or have fun in/with anything. It is a herculean effort to force myself to go shooting or play vidya seriously, things I used to enjoy.This leads into my question. I have questioned a few different medniggers about whether the clomipramine (which is the ONLY drug that stopped the dissociations, which themselves lasted up to 40 minutes, multiple times daily) would enable me to discontinue the duloxetine. My reasoning was that clomipramine being a more potent tricyclic (which they hate having to give out anyway), might be able to do the job of both drugs on its own. The question is, would this lead to harm, or any meaningful benefit? (1/2)
I have lately had to resort to Primatene on occasion as a stimulant to function. I don't want to live the life of a mindless husk, but I also don't want to kill myself because of trauma or modernity. Can any Anons advise on how to best strike a balance?
