Hi Ines,
Thanks for responding.
Years ago, when I was in my 20s it seemed that any AD (Seroxat, doxepin, sertraline) I took worked and worked quickly without any side effects.
This time round though it's been a whole different ball game. I spent the first 2 years from 2001 trying lots of different drugs (including 20mg of Seroxat) which made me feel more anxious, agitated, horrendous really and it was only Zyprexa now and again that really got me through those years. Then after a spell off drugs and just on lamical (which did nothing) the psychiatrist decided to put me on 60mg of Seroxat, this time I had no anxiety start up effects and the drug seemed to lift my depression within about a week.
I don't know why the Seroxat suddenly worked (it just doesn't make sense) but it seemed to me that if I'm going to feel horrible anyway on low dose ADs I may as well go the full hog and take the maximum amount straight away.
How long have you been like this and what have you tried so far?
Denise
