In reply to med recommendations?, posted by maximillian on March 10, 2002, at 5:35:20

I would stick with the same pdoc unless you feel that he is not doing a good job of treating you. (That is not the same as meds not working or having intolerable side effects.)

Staying with one pdoc for a long time is highly underrated, IMHO.

Talk to your pdoc and let him know that you want treatment, but you are very concerned about sexual side effects and sleeplessness. That information will help him suggest possible meds for you.

You could ask him about Serzone (supposed to not cause sexual problems or insomnia) or Remeron (same, but it does sometimes cause weight gain, sometimes a lot) Also, buspar is not very popular anymore, but it was supposed to work for gad and dep.


> could someone(possibly dr bob also) recommend an antidep/gad med(s) that will have less sides(especially libido loss and sleeplessness) instead of the effexor xr and wellbutrin combo i am on? also a sleep aid better than the ambien i was originally given? also, should i stop seeing a pdoc and drop my neuro? would a pdoc be better able to help mild to med. depression and gad symptom? presently seeing a social who refered ne to the neuro. i'm fifty, 6', no medical problems(other than the dep and gad) 185-190#. just a recommendation. the libido bothers me more than anything else. thanks to all that answer. need to solve the 'doc' question asap.
