> ledge of meds. I'm currently trying out buproprion and take 10 mg. paxil. Depression/anhendonia/complete flat feelings. What is a med that works for most people most of the time?
MAOI Nardil. Parnate and Marplan is very good too for a great deal of people.
Also the newer MAOI's.
Clomipramine is a great med too - also the other TCA's can help.
Someone who may not be treatment resistant? I have been on paxil for like 13 or so years and at a dose of 10mg. for about a year and a half because it stopped working and I can't get off of the crap.All SSRI's can be very hard to stop: all have the potential for bad withdrawal syndromes.
Would another SSRI like Zoloft or Lexapro work or something like Abilify?
I would try another class of AD.
Abilify I would stay clear off unless you have a psychotic problem, TR-OCD, or all other agents (other than antipsychotics) fail.
I don't know. That's why I'm asking. I trust your opinions more than Pdocs. It sounds like quite a few of you study this stuff and understand it quite well or at least better than average.

Wouldn't be too keen on combining SSRI's....Ace
