> hi! I kind of have experienced this...I tried Effexor with so-so results and I discontinued it. A couple of years later, I tried Cymbalta, which worked reasonably well. The two drugs are different, but highly similar (the big difference is that Cymbalta inhibits reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine equally, whereas Effexor works most on serotonin, then does norepinephrine at varying amounts at higher dosages).

Augmentation helps with partial response, so I imagine it might also be helpful for "poop-out". Also, some people derive benefit from adding a stimulant, benzo, mood-stabilizer, or atypical antipsychotic.Med_empowered what is your current cocktail or regimine?
