Hang in there B/D, I'm experiencing pretty much the same thing and will be seeing my p/doc in 3 weeks. I too, went for the medicine cabinet to help with the chronic depression/anxiety. I started remeron 30mg to help with the sleep and anxiety. I'm also taking clonaxepam 0.5.mg 3x/day along with zoloft.
I'm going to ask my p/doc to stop zoloft and go back on effexor so that's my suggestion for your "big gun". Together, the effexor and remeron should help with your anxiety, depression and allow for good sleep. I'd keep the clonazepam on board as well. You can probably increase your clonazepam while waiting to see the p/doc. I use to take 2mg/4x day years ago when my anxiety was quite bad. Maybe try 1mg 3/x day along with 25mg of nortriptyline at night. Luvox just made me very apathetic and starting parnate will limit your options come time to see p/doc.
I feel for ya B/dog. Just keep telling yourself it's temporary and you will feel better soon.Regards, Rick
