Hi Jon...I don't know what a damp squib is, but it sounds like a great description! I don't know why she worried so much about your Xanax...you've pretty much been on the same dose for ages, haven't you? You are a lucky slow metabolizer. Yeah, you're probably physically addicted, but then you are probably physically addicted to all your psych meds.
Me, I'm a SUPER-FAST metabolizer and it sucks!!! I just saw my pdoc today and he said that it's remarkable how quickly I develop tolerance to meds, and I must have an amazing liver. I replied saying maybe I should become a heavy drinker...he laughed and said that's NOT a prescription from me!Anyways, sounds like she is a bit conservative, and if she can't even prescribe on her own, what's it worth, as it seems your GP is amenable to any option you want to try. So you kinda got nowhere it seems, how frustrating, and you have the same options, Nardil or Mirtazapine. Maybe you should flip a coin :D
Good luck in your decision.
