> Fee- I have no doubt that you will feel better with a medication adjustment. If the addition of Mertazapine doesn't help enough, maybe you should try a different SSRI. I have experience with Prozac, Zoloft, and Lexapro. Lexapro, my current med, has been the most effective for me. I am hving much success with it.
>Thank you all for your encouragement - how nice to know there is support out there. Our crumbling National Health Service here in UK is so awful, I can't get to see a psychiatrist for another two and a half months.I feel very much abandoned by this dreadful system. Anyway, Jay, I have tried Prozac some years ago ad hated it -it gave me wild mood swings. Linda, thanks for the thought about thyroid - I have had a 'regular' thyroid check and it seems normal, but i have heard that these can be inaccurate.
Bill, can you tell me the generic name for Lexapro? - most drugs go by a different brand name over here and I've never heard of that, although my GP is thinking that Effexor might work as an alternative to Zoloft. Anyway, thank again, all of you. Any further suggestions gratefully received from this rather despairing woman!!!
