So tired of fighting with it....

Posted by anthonyg23 on August 31, 2008, at 17:20:42

Hi guys,

I've been frustrated as of late because nothing my doc prescribes to me works anymore. I deal with Anxiety, ADD, and moderate Depression and cannot seem to find any helpful medications. About 5 years ago I was prescribed Serzone (Nefazadone) and it changed my life - incredible happiness, motivation, positive outlook, no anxiety, etc, etc. Unfortunately, I was taken off the med because of the liver warnings and have had no luck finding an equal since. My latest mix is Effexor/Lamictal/Provigil...They seem to help VERY slightly but nothing close to the positive reaction I had before. I was first on just Effexor/Lamictal but neither did anything to help with ADD. So, my doc put me on Provigil. It's supposed to help with productivity/concentration but all I do is sit around like a zombie. I'm not sure exactly why I've been prescribed Lamictal, I'm not Bi-Polar. With Effexor, I honestly can't even tell if it's working.

I'm really tired of trying to find a combination that works for me. Since it's similar to nefazadone, I've asked my doc about trazadone but she said it wouldn't have any similar effects on me as Serzone did... I was hoping to at least see if it would work similarly. I don't rely on medications either, I workout, eat healthy, read for inspiration, etc, there's just something about ADD/Anxiety/Depression that you can't overcome with a positive outlook.

Anyways, I'm all out of ideas... should I look for a new doc to get a new perspective???? This is the latest idea I've been thinking about... maybe I can see another doc and they will have different ideas. Maybe one of you have a similar story and could shed some light on meds that worked for you....


Here's all the meds I've tried with no luck: Wellbutrin, Lamictal, Cybalta, Effexor, Paxil, Zoloft, Lexapro (worked slightly), Klonopin (worked decently on anxiety but was told to use very infrequently because people get addicted), St.Johns Wart, 5-HTP........

Any Ideas?
