Thanks Jay for suggestions. Interesting, helpful & curious....What is SNRI & IMHO?
"I think the best bet is to get the SNRI effect going. So, you want to look at:"
"a)switching to meds like, Cymbalta"I am Already on Effexor. Will look up Cymbalta.
"b) combo of SSRI + Stimulant"
Like What stimulant?
c)tricyclic + SSRI
Will look up tricyclic?
"d) possible combo of SSRI + Wellbutrin"
Wellbutrin made me feel awful & haven't heard of combo with SSRI. Good question to ask though.
"e) if you can afford weight gain, add Remeron"
Can't afford this one.
"Anyhow, just IMHO, but I unfortunately waited too long in between meds and gave away years accepting that I just had to live "sub-satisfactorily" with just an SSRI."
Interesting comment & I would like to hear more.
Wonder if I am living sub-satisfactorily with just SSRI. Can you give more info about combos you have experienced? & what IMHO is & what you did that helped?
Many thanks- really need help understanding what worked for you. Excellent feedback & some new stuff to look at. Please reply if you have time.
Sincerely, Deb (or Shenandoah, my home..)
