Anna, sounds to me like you need a new psychiatrist! I have been on various antidepressants for over 10 years, many different kinds and combinations. You should not have to go through the torment you describe. I would get a new dr. in a heartbeat!!
> Thank you for answering. My pdoc does not mix meds..she does not like combining antidepressants.She does not like high doseages either.
> She is unaccsessible by phone. Once a month for 15-20 minutes, for a drug check.
> My family doc gave me a 2 week supply of serax last night, to get me through withdrawal from effexor.
> I shudder to think that I have to wait 2 more weeks and then start wellbutrin on a dose of 150mg/day and not see anyone again till sometime in Jan.
> So I may not be feeling any better till some time next year, or longer waiting for it to work. I can't wait.
> I worry how my children(4) and my husband are going to survive. This disease is destroying our family.
> Thanks again for being here.
