I have to say you guys are good. I was on Effexor XR the longest of any med. Probably close to 3 1/2 years @ 150 mgs. Seems I need a norepinephrine or dopamine component.
As for the "XR" its Adderall XR, 15 mgs. Which leads me into my doctors diagnosis: Panic Disorder, GAD, ADHD and depression. Current meds are Fluoxetine 20 mgs, Adderall XR and 1 mg of Klonopin. I've been on Klonopin 8 years, which is much too long. Not sure if the Fluoxetine does anything or serves any purpose anymore. I think the Adderall XR helps which irritability and mood, but seriously how long can one sustain taking amphetamines? Never tried a mood stablizer and couldn't get by the sedation of Remeron. So there you have it.
I think Phillipa is dead on with dysthymia. I also believe anhedonia, performance anxiety and some ADHD are my issues. So where do I go from here?
Thanks for participating.
