Zeke, dove, Abby, JohnL and everyone, thank you again for your help. I am intrigued to hear that Klonopin acts on 5HT receptors. Does anyone think that Klonopin ALONE could be used as an AD? Or Klonopin with a stimulant, to combat the anergia but also the anxiety? ALso, about the Pamelor, Zeke, what are the major side effects? Is sedation a side effect, as at is with so many of the other older ADs? Is anorgasmia a side effect? Does anyone know of any literature on the anti-OCD qualities of stimulants? I would really like to do some reading on that. Also, does literature on the specific combos used to treat multiple diagnoses exist? Dove, your combination sounds pretty effective. How do you like it? In my heart, I would like to ditch the Prozac altogether and get away from the SSRIs for a time. I just wonder if there is any way to combat the anergia, severe anxiety, depression, OCD and mild (very mild) cyclothymia at the same time. Right now I feel overwhelmed about all of this and kind of discouraged. I can't begin to tell you how helpful you all have been. If you have time, please continue to share your knowledge of effective "cocktails" with me. I have always been treated with monotherapy -- and very unsuccessfully, or should I say, incompletely -- so my knowledge of what to mix is very limited...and I would like very much to bounce some of this off of my psychopharm when I see her next. --lynn
