effexor has worked somewhat....but I feel like I need to try to do something else
I am too anxious and too negative and irritable and too depressed
is there something else?
something has got to change- I can't cope
it's not zoloft...I tried that
anyone out there with any advice?
or is it just a shot in the dark

And you're also on Lamictal, isn't that right?

Abilify is an interesting med, at least for those whom it agrees with. Ditto Lamictal I guess.
I asked my nutritional doctor (mentioned in Blueberry's thread) about scientific psychiatry/psychopharmacology and he was sceptical of the possibility of finding any.
Do you sleep well now?

abilify initially had me hyped up, but that was very initially
now I feel like it's doing something with the quality of my thought processes, maybe I'm not ruminating as much as I could??
but my mood is just really crappy> I asked my nutritional doctor (mentioned in Blueberry's thread) about scientific psychiatry/psychopharmacology and he was sceptical of the possibility of finding any.

What dose effexor are you on? Effexor worked for my depressions and anxiety but i needed 450mg for a couple months before it kicked in, but it did kick in very well.
