Hi Denise,

I realize you initially posted this back in February, but I wanted to add one more story of success. I have tried most all of the SSRI drugs. Zoloft was the best of those but it caused memory and concentration problems that ended up being its own form of dysfunction. I tried Wellbutrin, but it made me too irritable. I went to a new pdoc who looked at the list of drugs I had tried (I wrote it out for him and took it to my first appointment) and the "pros" and "cons" I had listed for each. He then decided to try me on Remeron (Mirtazipine) which ended up being the "Magic Pill" for me. It had some pretty heavy start-up side effects but they all resolved with time. I truely feel like I'm living again -- not just getting through each day. I've also had weekly therapy for the past 3+ years which has helped a lot, but I don't think I would've gotten much out of the therapy without the chemical support on-board.

Best of luck to you as you continue to search. I hope you find the right one or right combo soon.
Lynda
