I've been on AD's for only 2 years, but from what
I've read and experienced, I've come to accept the fact there is a good chance I'll never be able to be completely free of meds.
But, once I was able to accept this, I have become
determined to find one that works and has acceptable side effects. I've gone from Prozac to Celexa to Serzone. It's early, but I have a good feeling about the serzone.
You say you've tried others, but there's probably
some you have not, and there are new ones all the time (at least every year or two). Also how about augmentation
strategies that may let you be able to lower the
dose of effexor? Also, do you see a GP or psychiatrist? I'd recomend the latter, but you need to find a good one, and don't be afraid to
dump them if you don't like them- there's plenty to choose from.
I know it is hard to get on and off AD's, but what
is the alternative?
Good luck, be brave, and remember you deserve to be happy, damnit.
