Hello:
I have taken a weight loss medication called Tenuate. For me it also causes a marked improvement in my mental outlook and ability to interact and socialize with other people. Its a state of mind I would like to maintain for the sake of my families happieness too. (I have always been shy and have become increasingly withdrawn and often depressed as I have aged with my ability to interact comfortably with other people has diminished). I talked to my doctor about this and he gave me a sample of Wellbutrin. It really had no effect on me at all. Later he gave me a sample of Provigil (Modafinil) which I am trying now. It seems to have a minor effect but Ive only just taken it 1 day. Im a bit worried that the doctor is just experimenting wide of the mark. The Provigil is for a sleep disorder....not for depression. What drug family is used to treat mental heath issues that provide the improved state of mind I get when I take Tenuate? I would like to suggest to the doctor a drug or several drugs that may have the same chemical mechanism as Tenuate to improve my mood and outgoingness. Tenuate opened a door for me by improving my outlook and the way people view me. Its important for me to find an appropriate treatment that I can continue indefinately. Any thoughts or direction to lead me in this discovery and potentially guide my doctor too? Thank you in advance for any thoughts or help! |

I take Provigil for my depression. The first day I took it it worked ok then as I take it it just seems to be getting better. I take 200mg once a day. I think it must stay in your system for awhile because I forget to take it once in awhile and I still stay elevated. I get somewhat sedated but nothing I can't handle.
