It seems to be a kind of controversial topic among physicians. Adding anti-psy meds to anti-depressants when they aren't working enough and when the depression has psychotic manifestations.
When I was totally scared I phoned a friend who also happens to be a physician (always a nice thing) and she was totally shocked that the doc started me on 5mg ... saying that its one heck of a potent drug and that when she gives it she starts at 1.25mg ... especially since I'm sort of smalle (5 feet and 105 pounds) ... and it really doesn't take much in terms of drugs to get an effect.
Well, the downside of not taking anything at night is yet again a sleepless night. So I'm off to go grab my Effexor.
