> At this juncture, I disagree with your doctor's characterization of Viibryd as being so unimpressive and similar to other drugs as to reject it from consideration. Yet, he wants to try another SSRI? Contradictory?

I agree with SLS on this one. If you've failed other SSRIs, there _is_ a reason to try Viibryd--certainly more of a reason than to try another SSRI. The guy I see had me try it because he said he'd had good results with it and I'd never tried it before. I don't think I was clear enough that I wanted the treatment to target social phobia rather than depression, but I couldn't turn it down because I'd never tried it. I've worked with the guy for years, he's done the psychostimulant + MAOI combination before with me. After 10 days I could not deal with how utterly miserable I was; there was no way I was raising the dose past 10mg if 10mg made me feel like that. I was on the brink of having a panic attack at times--and I take 4mg of clonazepam per day.

I just want my damn MAOI back. You know those black box warnings on SSRIs about suicidal ideation, etc? That is what SSRIs do to me. Even if I'd waited the full 4-6 weeks, I still end up in a state where I feel jittery, restless, and numb. I had no idea there was any other type of experience until I tried an MAOI. I wish I never stopped taking the Nardil; big mistake, but it was a rough time in my life and I was fed up dealing with the doctor I had at the time.
