Hi Marsha.
> My personal experience is limited but Imipramine worked for me beautifully for two years. Then I was switched to Prozac when it came out. Prozac worked for me (albeit with dreadful insomnia, muscle tension and anxiety) for eight years. After it pooped out I switched to Effexor which pooped out after about 4 years. Since then it's been a roller coaster ride trying to find something that works but has bearable side effects. I wonder whether no matter what you take, the poop out period gets shorter with each new drug you try? Like your body gets better at identifying the foreign substance and blocking it?
