Haven't tried any of those...here's what they prescribed for me in 1997 (Cymbalta came much later):
Wellbutrin
Buspar
Tegretol
Librium
Lithium
Depakote
Tofranil
Paxil
Mellaril
DesyrelAll these drugs were prescribed for me during the span of one month, several at the same time (even though they were contraindicated!). Needless to say, my mind has never been very clear since then.
I couldn't tolerate any of these, so they finally put me back on Klonopin. They did give me a brief course of Phenobarbital along with the other pills, but, to my great sorrow, I couldn't stay on it forever.
What was your response to Effexor? Also, you said you keep a mood chart--is that a doctor-specific chart or one you just keep to measure your own ebb and flow? How do you create a mood chart? I'd like to do that.
> CC, would it be stronger, or have less side effects--like effexor vs. pristiq? Could be you could not tolerate either. I tolerate both effexor and pristiq.... Pristiq does not work as well for me--but then, I compare that with the effexor response I had ten years ago....
