I don't know if you're talking to Dr. Bob or to another post-er. I'm still reading through them a little at a time. Ok, so this is probably my second to last post. This caught my attention:

"Venlafaxine was significantly more effective than SSRIs in improving depression, perhaps due to enhancing both serotonin and norepinephrine."

My doctor had told me I was crashing so hard when missing a dose of PAXIL because it was just enhancing the serotonin. He put me on EFFEXOR because he said it enhanced both the serotonin and norepinephrine pathways. He said if I missed a dose, I wouldn't have such ill effects. So I wonder why I did then? I'd say it was twice as bad as when I missed the PAXIL. I also found it interesting that people with major depression fared pretty well on EFFEXOR.

Thank you so much for the post-er asking "Hey Scott, are you married?" That was funny. There needs to be some levity in here and I was thinking the same thing.
