This is exactly what I experienced on the SSRI's and Effexor, etc. I would get so agitated that I was constantly on the phone with my pdoc. I was also taking xanax. The xanax stopped relaxing me last spring, and began to sedate me, and the SSRI's including taking up to 60mg of cymbalta did nothing to me. Evidently my chemistry changed. I do know that I am very addicted to benzos now, and chloral hydrate. I remember when the only med I took was 5mg of valium three times a day. That used to really relax me and relieve any of the depressive feelings. Now I'm afraid to see how much I would need to achieve the same effect. I know I'm going to ask the new pdoc on Monday to try and detox me on valium and I don't care how high a dose she rx's. I need some relief. Of course, I don't know if she will do this. Fondly, Phillipa
