No probs at all Z. Interesting you mentioned Zoloft though, it's the only SSRI/SNRI that I tolerated for longer than 6 months.

OK, the bizarre unexplainable serotonin factor. Well it's not unexplainable really, it basically poisons my system, either very slowly like Zoloft, or very quickly like AROPAX (Paroxetine) Cymbalta, Efexor XR, or Prozac, etc... middle of the road reactions were luvox and Citalopram (Cipramil). I was never hospitalised but had very, very mild serotonin syndrome from mono therapy on paroxetine, citalopram and cymbalta (duloxetine). After switching pdocs and GP's because they kept prescribing it to me, the new ones keep doing the same thing. This is why I'm asking for advice for my new pdoc appointment tomorrow. I'll tell him, keep quiet and see what he does. If he prescribes one I won't go back.
