You could try a MAOI instead (for example).
I would talk to your doctor about trying a different class of antidepressants. If you're taking an SSRI that doesn't work (for example), then other SSRIs probably won't work either. |
Yeah, I've been on an SSRI before and it didn't help so I am on an SNRI now which doesn't seem to help either. I'm going to see how things go tapering off this medication and if it doesn't go well then I might have to see a Pdoc... I'd rather not though because it's expensive and I'm already out of pocket quite a lot with this T I'm seeing.
