@ robert

I heard the argument that SSRI + Nortrip is better than Cymbalta for example cause you can do finer adjustment. This sounds logical. But how shall I even know if I need more NE or more Serotonin? I mean if I go on such a combo and don't feel better then I can't tell what the problem is, wether I need more of both or only more of 1 thing. I don't really know if in reality the fine adjustment stuff really pays off. When you have 2 variables then this makes finding the "right dose" even harder and I dont have time to take a combo for months and try out all kinds of dosages. I needed to find something which works asap.

What I also worry about is how harmful it is to the brain if I check out many drugs in short time. I think that from now on I will not take any AD longer than 4-5 weeks maximum. I don't have that much time and I also don't want to risk getting withdrawals. The longer you're on a drug the bigger the risk.
But if I go from 1 drug to the next every month then I don't know what this does to the brain. I cant imagine that it's very healthy. But on the other hand I really have to find something which works fast. My ex-pdoc cost me a lot of time by stalling and raising my dosages very slowly. From now on I'll take care of dosing myself. I will get the prescription and then slowly raise the dosage within the normal ranges. It makes no sense to stay on a dose which doesnt work until the next appointment only to be told to raise the dose.
