My main problem is with the apathetic symptoms that comes with most antidepressant use. I just recently bumped my Effexor dose to 150mg, thinking it would tinkle the norepinephrine pathways, but it caused way too much cognitive blunting and overall apathy. (I have been on Effexor up to 475mg's before...this trial I am talking about was to see if the apathy could be avoided with the con-current use of other meds.)
I have talked with my doctor about me possibly having some schizo-effective (mostly) negative symptoms. I respond to antipsychotics quite well, with the exception of Zyprexa because it blasts my blood sugar way wayyy too high..and I feel sick and ill when that happens.
But, my main med is Prozac, even if it invokes some anxiety and apathy. I can't tolerate any other SSRI's or antidepressants. (Ohh..with the exception of Celexa..but that med is still not powerful enough to help my depression.)
So, I continue my experimentation, because I refuse to let this illness take any more life away from me. I also had a cool reaction to a small dose of Oxycontin and Celexa before, too. But, I have never "craved" to have that combination again, though.
So, my experiment (a work (jerk?..hahahh) in progress..lol) continues. Hope you are doing well RJ.
Best,
Jay
