Hi.
i feel that pristiq is pooping out and going to 100 does nothing for me. i thought that adding a similar AD (that worked in the past) would be complimentary and maybe have some nice synergistic effect. if used at low dose.i've been on wellbutrin in the past worked wonderful for a year then pooped out. tried it again and again with no luck (two types of generic and real deal to no avail).
also been on remeron. not tried nortiptyline.i've been on abilify (bad anger reaction)
zyprexa normally worked in the past, last time didn't work but used generic?? unsure
used risperdal, no positive effect
on perphenazine (low dose)
and i can't think right now, probably others?************************
i finally got the nerve and txt'd pdoc yesterday, was feeling so terrible. he called last night. we talked for a while (of course i had already 4 beers in me so i was quite honest with him). he said it was hard over the phone but he thinks true depressive episode rather than psychological, but is more than willing to try the cymbalta (he said he was considering thatlolsure right). he said we'd really have to be careful though. he also seems to think that the perphenazine is the culprit so he wants me to stop the perphenazine in the am only. and txt or call thurs how i'm feeling. he's going to see if his office has samples of cymbalta. we'll talk more thursday. or he'll try to get me in friday.thanks for your help Scott.
ps. i was thinking nortriptyline in the past but i dont want to gain anymore weight either if i can help it, so i will try the cymbalta first. besides, in my state of mind right now i dont think a TCA is a really good idea for me. i have so ideation going on and its a bit weird and scary to me at times.thanks again i always appreciate your insight.
