Whoa -- a lightbulb just went off in my head when I read your message. I've been on SSRIs -- and they work great for about three months, then they stop working and we increase the dose and the blues dissolve again after two weeks. Then three months later the meds poop out again. (Repeat that process till I reach the max dosage of Zoloft, Celexa, whatever, then switch to a new SSRI.)
Recently my dr. switched me to Effexor (Wellbutrin had no effect), and while I don't feel like crying 24/7, I do still feel apathetic, lazy and like Human Slug Girl.
Have you (or anyone else?) had similar reactions? How do you know what the problem is? The seratonin stuff works for a while, but eventually gives out, so do you think there's another brain feel-good thingy that's out of whack?
Thanks for your help :) This board is really great.
