Rich:
I don't have any answers for you. But God knows I can relate to the "no medications working for you" feeling. Over the last eight years, I took most of the SSRIs, in "high" doses, and I almost feel like...I'm not taking anything at all. Contrast this to the one year that I had success with SSRIs (1999), I took 20mg of Celexa for half a year, and 20mg of Prozac for half a year. I had all the side effects (twitchy hands, anorgasmia, dry mouth, etc.), but I definitely felt a benefit. They helped me keep my teaching job. Fast forward four years later, I'm taking 40mg/day of Lexago (that's supposed 80mg of Celexa/day from what I was told), nothing. 80mg Prozac/day, nothing. 75-100mg Paxil/day, nothing. 1200mg Serzone/day, nothing. And when I say nothing, I mean no side effects either. So, I don't know what's going with me, but like you, the SSRI-profile drugs are pretty much like placebo to me. Hope you find a solution that works long-term. I'm still looking.
