> Why not add an adjucant rather than switching. I took Effexor with great success for many years, like you gradually increasing dose. In retrospect, it was probably a mistake to switch off of it. If I could do it again, I would have added Lamictal and, possibly, Carbatrol (similar to Tegretol). If not effective, I would then add Abilify or Geodon.

I forgot to mention that I do augment with Wellbutrin and fish oil. I had not thought of throwing something else in the mix, but I guess I should.
