Hi Denise,
For the past 10 years or so, my main A/D has been zoloft, but it seems to poop out every 2 years or so. Several years ago, I gave effexor a try and did quite well on it, then poop out. Zoloft appears to be pooping out again so I will be returning to effexor and hopefully get another good run.
I have been taking remeron for the last 8 years or so, primarily to help with my sleep, but I find it helps with my anxiety as well. It also seems to help augment the other A/D somewhat.
I was om clomipramine for 12 years and did quite well on it along with clonazepam. My p/doc wanted me to switch over to the "new and improved" ssri's in 2000, that's when the fun and games began. It's sounds as if our diagnosis is quite similar. I would have to say when zoloft is working, it does a good job in taming my depression/anxiety. I would take zoloft 50mg, remeron 15mg and clonazepam 0.5mg 3/day.Hope you feel well soon.
Rick
