I am thinking about asking about Remeron, Vivactil or Marplan...

I forgot to mention: I am also taking Lamictal 200mg and Klonopin 1mg b.i.d.; my former psychiatrist would NOT give me xanax (Klonopin worsens my depression) even though it works better than anything, and I had been on the same dose for years .. Hopefully my new doc (who I meet tomorrow) will switch me back.

I don't understand why Xanax is such a dirty word to some doctors - it doesn't make me high, just literally takes the anxious edge away without making me more depressed. Ativan also makes me more depressed.

I appreciate this board more than you can imagine.

> Hey Zonked, sorry your having a rough time. Someone else here is currently posting about terrible start up on pristiq. Have you asked your pdoc about these symptoms--they sound extreme. When I started, I had flu-like symptoms for a few days that began to dissipate. No two people are alike--maybe this drug isn't the one for you, but I don't know.... I do know the withdrawal can be a protracted nightmare. Hope this is more helpful than alarming.
