Combining SSRI with alt AD after poop-out?

Posted by SpratNZ on January 11, 2014, at 3:52:25

Short history - agoraphobia for 25 years - treated really well with SSRIs - except they keep pooping out on me after about 3 years. Escitalopram has just done that, so I've done all the SSRIs now. My PDoc wants to add in an anti-psychotic which I'm REALLY not keen on. And benzos just make me want to nap all the time. (Which was fine when I was in an office job, but not great when you're at home with a 3 year old). I'm wondering if perhaps adding in a different AD (like a tricyclic, or Remeron) would help - has anyone had success with this kind of combo? Am seeing my pdoc in a week so will talk with him about it then.
Thx
