> in my book anyways. four years ago, when i got my first prescription, it was for zoloft. i bounced on and off it for a year, and it had little affect beyond making me detatched and numb. it made me eat though. then they put me on effexor XR which is satan incarnate of the pill form, and now Fluexatine (sp?)which doesnt seem to be doing much either. im beginning to wonder if the diagnosis isnt correct, although the symptoms reek of depression, it could be a combination? have an appt with the pdoc tomorrow, might bring it up.

Hi Katey,

You sound like someone who doesn't respond too well to "serotonergic" meds. I really don't respond well to SSRi meds for *depression* either. I chiefly seem to depend on them for anxiety relief (at very low doses). But I do have seasonal major depressions (twice yearly) that only respond well to meds like Wellbutrin or Adderall. Ask your doc about a trial of Wellbutrin.
