I am beyond a "free thinker" when it comes to psychopharmacology. Part of my OCD is internet research on psychiatry, up to 12 hours a day at one point.
Because of my pro-activity on mental health, I have become my own lab rat.
I have experimented with virtually every AD - monotherapy, combinations of this and that, as well as other classes of psychotropic meds.
Zoloft - at 200mg still had generalized anxiety disorder, activating
Paxil - lethargy, somnolance
Prozac - same as zoloft
Celexa - reduced anxiety, somnolance
Clomipramine - only made it too 100mg before I became anorgasmic; relieved obsessions dramatically even at very low dosage
Wellbutrin - at 300mg blew my libido threw the roof; very activating; little mood improvement
Serzone - at 450mg caused rash and an incredible craving for food and appetite
Effexor - at 225mg, took me out of my first major depressive disorder; relieved anxiety disorders and beyond; flatenned emotions; hypomanic at times; hightened self-esteem; turned me from a shy person into a salesman; second time around at 300mg slept all the time but relieved all anxiety syptoms
I am currently taking 150mg of effexor with 300mg of wellbutrin and 100mg of trazadone.
I am wondering whether I can supplement serzone for trazadone at night to stimulate appetite - Isn't this what you are on NOA? Why?
