Thanks. It's like my body is going haywire with any little change I try to make and I have never been this hypersensitive to medication in my life. The MAOI's activating properties ruined my life, took double the standard amount of time for it to leave my system when I stopped it, had 2 bad reactions to introducing Cymbalta, can't handle Lamictal because the drowsiness + the Xanax was unreal, and the Xanax was making me horribly drowsy last week because there wasn't anymore stimulation from the MAOI to stop the Xanax from completely doing its job. One cut in the Xanax XR Friday night, with an option to take the IR as needed, and I'm still totally haywire with panic attacks, nausea, fatigue, and I'm going to miss work again today because I can't handle it. I can't do anything right. I'm a total dumpster fire right now. The whole thing is making me more depressed on top of the fact that I still can't get on another antidepressant because I'm getting sick from everything and I can't push through it.
