I am currently on paxil and I need something to take along with it to help with my clinical depression. Paxil has helped me a lot but there is still a long way to go. I also have huge social anxiety which paxil has helped a lot with as well. I also have strong insomnia.
Some meds which have been recommended to me recently by one of the best doctors I have yet to meet are...
Remeron, Modafinil, Risperidal, pramipexole, and desipramine.
Modafinil I put in there because I once tried adrafinil and while in the long run it backfired it did make me feel great for one day.
I have several problems and finding out the pros and cons of such meds could help me make my decision on what to try next. I have gone through 15+ meds with little relief.
Risperidal helped me a bit before when I took it by itself. Maybe with paxil it will be a good combination.
Aside from huge lack of interest or motivation to do anything my other symptoms include:
DULLNESS (I feel like an idiot often, I used to be so brilliant before this accutane induced depression hit)
Poor memory
VERY LOW sex drive (remeron seems great for this)
Low appetite
Insomnia
What can help restore mental capability? Other problems helped would be welcome as well.Need any advice you guys are willing to share
