Haven't talked to you in awhile. The darn things do wonders for *stress*, GAD-type stuff. To me they are like benzos without as much attentional wipeout and depression. I have never been able to tolerate a standard dose of any of them unfortunately. The only one that came close was Celexa at 10mg/day. I have some type of dopamine dysfunction, no doubt about it. The ADHD dx is still there (per latest visit). But I get panic + worsened SP when I get off a serotonin med! The bottom line is I need to improve *both* serotonin AND dopamine functioning, and that is not something easy to accomplish.
