Thanks!
Well I think a couple people answered that above, about the SNRIs, so I don't want to be redundant. They were pretty thorough. A lot of people swear by Cymbalta. I'm on Pristiq (max dosage), but it recently failed me, so I'm not going to recommend it.

What I do find kinda strange is the Ambien. Have you tried any other sleep med? Ambien comes with a lot of wiggy side effects.

And what about mood stabilizers?

Also: Do you drink or use drugs? I was tons worse when I was abusing alcohol/drugs.

Cymbalta, 60mg -- for the depression.
Latuda, 40mg -- for the paranoia (delusional type).
Adderall, 40mg XR & 5 mg reg -- for the ADD.
Xanax, .5 mg as needed -- for the anxiety.
Topamax, 50mg -- still figuring this one out.

MDD, but possibly have some form of Bipolar Disorder. Then again, I could be paranoid . . .

Well, at least I still have my sense of humor.
