Hey, Sportsman:
Thanks for all the feedback. Wow, you know a lot more about antidepressant pharmacology than I do! I guess the gist of Brintellix for me thus far is ... it's still not a very strong antidepressant/anti-anxiety relief. I just had to spend part of the day with my mother (the cause of, basically, my f'ed up PTSD condition), and Brintellix, nope, it's not going to cut it. Nor is it giving me the energy I need to work, to get out of this hole of dependance that I always find myself in.
I visit my p-doc tomorrow. As I think I said before, I'll probably give this a 6 week trial (or whatever he thinks is fair), but at 2.5 weeks, it's still feeling pretty weak. I guess adding on other drugs is one option (you mentioned Stablon, a drug with which I have little familiarity, but the Wikipedia article makes it sound promising). I don't know. I appreciate your effort in communicating all this information to me.
Chris
