Maybe. They look like they've got scary side effects.
> Yeah, i'd suggest going with the venlafaxine since you already started, and so you don't have to worry about hypertensive crisis or washout over holidays. If no remission, add mirtazapine. If that combo doesn't work, i'd say its time to stop messing around and take a real MAOI. st johns wort is too promiscous to really know what you should try based on that response.
Well, I'm not starting till I get back after a week with the family. The psycho agreed with this. Far better when I'm 10 minutes walk away from the doctor.
I don't get to choose what drugs to take (beyond take it or leave it), since they're all tightly controlled where I live. Except SJW which is "herbal", therefore "harmless" (hah!).
> Hey, holidays coming up, and vlfx+mtzpn or Parnate is probably going to significantly improve stuff.
Oh deity! At least there's nobody in our Yuletide gathering who's going to be energetically cheerful.
