jman – in the 30 years that I've been on one antidepressant after another, I found one that finally worked in 2000 and another in June or July of this year.

In 2000 I was an inpatient at the main campus of Georgia Regional Hospital and the gave me Nardil. It worked great but it took my blood pressure to stroke levels so I was only on it for 6 weeks.

This year my GP started me on Effexor and it has been like the bread of life for me. I have some other problems still but my depression is not the greatest of them any longer.

Sometimes you just have to find someone who really has a grip on psychopharmacology to play around and find the right meds that work for you.
