In reply to Why are you on a MAOI?? How's it working for you??, posted by caha on March 4, 2003, at 22:03:41
> Just wondering. My daughter has been on MANY different AD's - Prozac, Wellbutrin, Elavil, Paxil, Zoloft, etc. Also went with lithium augmentation for a while. She's been on Risperdal and Seroquel. Currently she's on Geodon and Prozac.

Thanks..........I agree with these guy's, I use to hate doing pretty much everything involving going outside my apartment because of the anxiety which caused my depression. Nardil has turned me more happier and positive about myself. The depression is nearly gone and the anxiety is pretty controlled. I know longer think getting a girlfriend is impossible for me :) and I can talk and answer questions without sweating and my heart beating through my chest..
Good luck
Nick
