> Donna, thank you for your honesty. i have been on a host of ADs over the course of the last ten years with different degees of effectiveness - none really all that great. the best of the bunch have been effexor, cymbalta, and lexapro. each seemed to poop out after a year or so. i am currently taking lexapro -second time around- and mirapex - my doc said it has been helpful in augmenting for those with recurrent depression and anxiety. I have been now on these for a little over a week and really feel like a zombie - just in a fog. the lexapro doesn't seem to help at all after having success the first time and this other drug just seems to cloud everthing up. any suggestions from anyone out there? take care and all the best!Hey Stabb, I am afraid I sounded so negative about the patch in my earlier post. I am so moody, one minute I am depressed, the next I feel pretty good. I am feeling pretty good now and even when I am not, I am still very hopeful for the patch. It is the best one I have taken since paxil pooped out on my way back in the mid '90's and I have taken a bunch of others with a bunch of augmentation, ad nauseum. So, really, although not perfect, and that is part of my problem, wanting perfection, the patch is still doing good by me.
