Hi Scott,
Rather than the word 'Sweet' I should have used the word 'kind' not 'sweet' (sounds patronising) as you come across as a very kind person in your messages. Also, you always seem to be very dilligent and methodical when it comes to taking medication.
To answer you question. Here is the list of medication I have tried.
Prozac and doxepin
Mirtazapine - More anxious, still depressed.
Effexor - Anxious
Lamictal - Didn't seem to do anything.
Lithium and sertraline - Slightly better.
Seroxat 40mg - felt much better for about two years and then the anxiety came back.
Seroxat and Mirazapine - Slightly better, still not right.
Seroxat and Thyroid hormone = No change
Seroxat and Lithium - No change.
Escitalopram - was ok on it for about two years, not exactly well but not in the pits. This lasted two years and then the anxiety came back.
Seroxat and tryptophan - no change
Zyprexa - Always helps but feel sort of flat on it at times.
Seroxat and abilify - No change
Clomipramine - less anxiety after intial anxiety up to 5 weeks.
Wellbutrin - Make me more drowsy.
Klonopin (occasionally) does actually help but don't want to keep taking it and then become addicted to it, like some people seem to have been.
And I've taken others but cannot remember them exactly. My Doctor has now added 200mg trimipramine to the seroxat and I'm experiencing extreme drowsiness.I tried rTMS in Vancouver when I was quite well anyway and didn't find it to be of any benefit.
I'm glad you have found a medication to help you. Are you feeling better than you have in a long time or is it only a slight improvement?
