I posted earlier about trying fluoxetine with venlafaxine again.
Ten days into the fluoxetine stage, no change, nothing. I know it can take longer, but generally by now I've felt something, more energy, something. This time, nothing.
I tried taking 25 mg venlafaxine, and it made me very jumpy, anxious, nauseated, in short, made me doubt the sanity of playing with it again.
Since this is the combination I was on last time, then tapered off venlafaxine and then quit the fluoxetine, I'm wondering if it won't work this time (this happened the first time I tried fluoxetine - it quit working, and when I tried going back on, it still didn't work).
So I have to find another med, perhaps an SSRI.
But I liked venlafaxine (Effexor) because it helped with my dropping things and general clumsiness and forgetting things and spacing out.
Any exhaustive list of options out there?
