John - It's so difficult to know which drug or combination will work for which person, but I have to tell you.......my son had been on quite a few medications (well, I thought so until I came here!) and when he finally tried Effexor, he called me on the second day and said, "Mom.......I'm in a good mood." He was completely astounded - this after having battled depression all of his young life. Said he woke up, felt good and didn't immediately have thoughts of wanting to be dead. After three or so years, the effects have waned a bit and he's now being supplemented with Wellbutrin. Anyway, I wish you the same kind of luck.
