Hi There!
Good advice here from everyone girlinterrupted. I swear I learn more from these people than you could ever find in any medical book.
I have taken pretty much the same meds as you except an maoi, which I tried for four days and it made me terribly sick. So I started wondering what exactly is going on chemically in my head also.
I have SAD, GAD, PTSD and agoraphobia. And thanks to a real mean father, I grew up with major anger issues also. Just know you are not alone.
Good to see what was posted here. I asked doctor today to go back and try zoloft again. I have never tried celexa, but I know that 8 years ago when I started taking Zoloft, it was primarily geared toward extreme anxiety, depression and phobias.
After a couple of years I came off. Then when I tried to go back on around this time last year, did not get the same effect. But I am wanting to give it another shot. Started the usual regimen of 25 mgs. yesterday and can already feel a lift. Maybe it will help this time.
I never knew you could combine a antipsych med with an ssri. THANKS GUYS!!! That makes me feel better knowing that if I can't get rid of the anxieties with zoloft alone, that I can add something to help. (I have tried Serorquel and hated it) What other antipsych med would be adivised with zoloft I wonder?
I am assuming that the psychmed would be a pretty low dose with an ssri? Does anyone know which one of the psychmeds is considered the mildest?
I hope that out of all of the information you find on here, you find something that works. Don't know if you tried CBT, but I started that last week also. People have been suggesting it for years, but I always thought I could handle this on my own.
Studies do show that CBT combined with meds show better results than doing either one alone. Might be worth a shot.
Keep smilin :-))))
