> i need help. Every SSRI or ssnri sends me through the roof. Get extremely irritated, memory, worse anxiety and depression. Even if i up my klonopin a little it still remains.
> SO i end up quittin them w/in a couple days.
> I've done cymbalta for 4 days, and got the same effects, and quit it two days ago.
> Is there anything i could other than starting slow?
> Im pretty much giving up on the ADs, as they make me worse. Tried every one during the past 3 years, and they all throw me in a bad spiral.
> The only one that lifted my depression, was lamictal, but it caused horrible headaches.

> dx is gad, panic disorder, depression, and had bad depersonalizationYour DXs and experiences are outside my experience. I am mild BP2 and mild OCD, and SSRIs and SSNRIs work OK for me, as long as I take them with a mood stabilizer. (My MS of choice right now is Trileptal.) As for other ADs, many here swear by the TCAs and MAOIs. I hope you'll get feedback from others whose DXs and experiences are closer to your own. Maybe you'll need to start another thread, as this one started about Cymbalta? Good luck!
