It feels different than Nortiptyline. I feel more depressed and super anxiety ridden at times and then wiped out in the afternoon needing a nap.
My doc said "wasn't the plan to get you up to 50mg?" I think when you take paxil with it you don't need as much. I'm only at 20 and feel terrible. Can't imagine what 50 would be like.
I have a strong feeling this isn't going to be the one. So some of the suggestions before included milnacipran.
I'm on paxil and plan to stay on it. Either at 10mg. or 20 so it has to be something that can be added to paxil.
I'm going to ask Dr. Gillman what he thinks.
Would have loved to stay on Nortriptyline but the weight gain was ridiculous.
Any ideas/advice?
Thanks guys,
Laney
Diagnosis: depression and anxiety
Current meds: paxil 20mg., desiprimine 20mg., clonazepam .5mg.
Of meds tried, nortriptyline worked the best but caused major weight gain so d/c
