In reply to Possible Effexor augmentations?, posted by nicky77 on April 17, 2005, at 7:55:52
Low dose zyprexa, low dose other atypical ap, or low dose prozac. Just one opinion, but those would be my top choices for augmenting effexor. Possibly provigil. I might have also suggested wellbutrin, except for the greater risk of worsening anxiety.
The low dose ap thing is becoming more and more popular because it seems to work a lot, and for a wide range of symptoms. The prozac suggestion is directly from what I've seen here at this board over the years.
I personally do not believe in increasing the dose up toward the high end. I think if it isn't working at a low or medium dose, then it just isn't hitting the right targets to begin with. But, that is just my opinion based on my own experiences and observations.
