In reply to Re: Unresponsive to SSRIs? What worked?, posted by oracle on September 19, 2002, at 1:31:15
i have tried prozac, paxil, celexa, lithium, valproate and the tca's plus many more. i have had depression since i was 11 and i am actually diaganosed with bipolar.
the ssris helped me a bit but i was still unable to lead a normal life- i was apathetic and still had many symptoms.
for me effexor really worked. i was up and about and even held down a job. my doc says that effexor really helps thoes with add as well, which i suffer from. withdrawal is hard but it is possible if u do it slowly. i think it may be worth a try
good luck
