Issues at the interface of Mavis, community-based psychiatric services and the mentally normal

I think that covers us all?

has chosen.

Why no modafinil?

What need have you to stay awake?

When I get low I sleep 14 hours a day.

You haven't got narcolepsy so I wouldn't be prescribing it. I would consider it dangerous to prescribe it.

none really, just lounge around being fat

can do that more comfortably in bed

is modafinil really any good for depression then?

No, modafinil is no good for depression bottle does it have a licence for depression.

Ah what a bugger. Doesn't sound like there's much of a chance of that, then.

It's supposed to be a mood-brightener.

Oh thought you were asking ME about staying awake

think have that histrionic pd where everything is about me

Shit, the typos not bottle, nor does it.

Would quite like to try Dexedrine if that's still prescribed for depression.

I suspect not.

Dexedrine? You'd be lucky.

Ugh no

dexedrine really?

Never get anything interesting off psychiatrists these days. I'm sure there was a time when it was all quaaludes and amphetamines. Nothing fun any more.

feel like I have some standards when it comes to the chemicals

a novel sensation

It's all SSRIs and antipsychotics these days. All the fun drugs are long gone.

I just can't stand the thought of all that depressive lack of energy again.

Surely Dexedrine is better than lying in bed for three days?

I'm no fun when it comes to prescribing so no Dexedrine from me

Do you think you're heading towards a depression?

just take the antipsychotics that get touted as mood stabilisers - no antidepressant action but you'll be too fat and drowsy to care

Perhaps it's possible to just refuse to succumb to depression. If the depression is mild enough, I mean.

Yep, pretty sure I can feel it coming.

I refuse to do depression again.

you'll sleep and eat more and therefore can be considered to be less depressed

I THINK that's how some of them work

I use antipsychotics as mood stabilisers sometimes buy I believe that lithium is the only true mood stabiliser.

Is there anything you can do to try and ward off the depression? I know you exercise a lot which could help.
