In reply to Re: ZOLOFT + PROVIGIL...Depression getting worse..., posted by florence on September 19, 2007, at 20:52:53
I was told the same thing by the pharmacist, but i don't think it's true. My exact words to the pharmacist & my doctor were "i think the provigil killed the zoloft because all my old symtoms are back - and worse i think"...but they didn't think it was the mix of the 2 drugs, with the exception of the anxiety which they said could become worse with the provigil. So my doc switched me to lexapro which i thought made a difference. The anxiety got A LOT better and the depression got a little better but not too much.
And as far as zoloft, even when i was on it alone i never felt it helped. The first time i was on Lex it helped a lot, but it pooped-out the second time i was on it. I'm on Wellbutrin now and i think it's SOOOOOOOO much better than any AD i've been on yet. It's helped with fatigue, which is a side effect of most AD's. And while most people say it can make your anxiety worse, i don't think it did - and i usually have very bad anxiety attacks and panic attacks. However, i did notice than too high of a dose will give you anxiety/panic attacks (i was experimenting with myself - i know, dumb, dumb dumb!). But i always like to test the waters :p ***Hopefully this one will last***
Hope this helps,
