i would be extremely interested on it too… have you read my post about my experience with TM????
I did. I couldn’t figure out which of your symptoms were drug related and which were related to TM.
What’s interesting is different styles of meditation seem to have different effects. Yoga Nidra meditation increases dopamine according to a published study.
TM seems to increase prolactin (dopamine’s nemesis) significantly as per that above study I posted. But I think it also increases phenylalanine.
What were your final conclusions on TM? Could you list what you thought were the positives and what you thought were the negatives? Of just the TM, not the meds.
Do you still do TM?
Its more of a strung out feel all day. the bup’s helped out my low grade depression but its decreased motivation and libido.. libido actually surges again in the evening – i’m assuming when it wears off somewhat. basically good for depression but NE effects r too much
yeah you’ve hit the nail on the head – that’s the way i feel sometimes with the bupropion – like it keeps drawing out the NE effects and wearing me down and keeping my anxiety levels higher than normal on a constant basis.
Selegiline was great in some ways – but I also can’t say I experienced its effects properly – i was still using 800mg of caffeine a day (tablets) with it – so i have no doubt it worsened some of deprenyl’s side effects.
Its a little frustrating cuz in some ways bupropion is helping – but overall its affecting important things in my life – libido and motivation.
i’m thinking of using 300mg of Kira St.Johns Wort in the evenings maybe every other day to calm things down a little – i’ve found this effective in the past when just on the caffeine. i’ve checked drug interaction checkers online and there appear to be no contraindictions with bupropion.
i’m still a little weary and wouldn’t mind a few more educated opinions. any thoughts on that? combining my regular bupropion dose (200mg /day) with 300mg SJW every other night or so?
