Need help choosing a new SSRI/SNRI

Posted by jerrypharmstudent on November 16, 2009, at 12:05:45

I've been on Lexapro for many years and I don't think it's doing ANYTHING. So I want to change to another SSRI or SNRI but problem is that I've been on them all numerous times before. I was thinking about asking my GP for Effexor XR since I haven't been on that one for a long time and it's supposed to help with treatment-resistant depression. Here's my current list of meds:

Geodon 40mg x2daily
Adderall 20mg x3daily
Lexapro 15mg
Klonopin 1 mg 3xdaily then 2 at bedtime

My current symptoms right now are severe anxiety/dread and depression. The Geodon was helping tremendously at first but petered out and I can't raise it because 60mg x2daily makes it hard for me to swallow food.

I know everyone responds differently to meds but any advice would help.

thanks Jerry
