Your note made a lot of sense to me. I've been trying to find an AD that would work for my depression/anxiety/insomnia for many months now. Everything I've tried has had side effects I couldn't tolerate. I was up until today ready to give up and accept that it's just my personality - I make myself unhappy - you know the drill. I'm seeing my psychiatrist on Tuesday. I was going to cancel and try to stay off all meds, but I'm having major anxiety today and that, together with your note, is making me rethink that. Could you either post a note or write me at PLucas119@aol.com if you get a chance and let me know what your experiences are with the different medications. I think Celexa might be the next step for me - it doesn't seem to have the side effects that have most affected me. I've already tried prozac, zoloft, paxil, deseryl, serzone, and remeron. The initial side effects for all these were too much for me to handle - I'm very suseptible to drugs. Anyway, I welcome comments or e mail from anyone who wants to.
