In reply to How many SSRIS do U try before an SSNRI?????, posted by qbsbrown on December 28, 2006, at 14:09:23
there isn't a formula. If a patient might respond to an antidepressant (and lots of people don't) your doc should select one to match your symptoms. SSRIs are more tolerable for *some* people, but they have side effects of their own so...you may want to start out with an SNRI. Or TCA. I dont think people usually start out with MAOIs, but I imagine that could be an option in certain cases.
