> Remeron 30mg at night plus Effexor 150mg in the morningI have known (in real life actually!) three people for whom Effexor has been a lifesaver. Unfortunately for me, it turns me into even more of a batcase (can't stop pacing the floors, flooded with anxiety... in fact, nortriptyline has a similar effect. Hence my theory that increased NE levels make me bonkers!)
I don't think I ever gave Remeron a fair trial.

> Welbutrin 300mg plus Sertraline 100mg, both in the morningIf I could regain what Zoloft used to do to me, and avoid the panic attacks and anger Wellbutrin caused in me this might work.
>> I have had great sucsess using reisperdone 1mg at night, it has a calming effect and boosts my antidepressant response, and at that dose it isnt an antipsychotic, just a mild tranquiliser.
Here's what I don't get about low dose antipsychotics -- someone on this board will know enough to answer this I'm sure =)
Wouldn't one get the same benefits (mild sedation) from Benadryl without the risks and expense of APs? Isn't that what they do in low doses anyway - act primarily as antihistamines?
