Okay bernie:
I say go to a pdoc and let them prescibe something for you, if you can. They know better what to give you for what symptoms you're having. I was on zoloft for a few weeks, but I couldn't stand the headaches. I went from there to paxil, but it didn't mix well with my chemo drug. I went to Lexapro, same thing. I did well for a while, but then I started
having more episodes of anger, rage, and severe depression. I finally went for a secong opinion to a pdoc, and he diagnosed me as bipolar 1. After being on the combo of Lamictal and Luvox, I feel like a different person.
The difference is night and day for me. I love this combo.
It has been a God send. If you are feeling bad again, I'd suggest going to a new dr. Is your's a psychiatrist? You need one of those to be correctly monitored and diagnosed.
