I have social phobia, major depression, and ocd. I've used Effexor XR, Zoloft, Gabitril, Klonopin, Adderall, Paxil, Buspar and Celexa.
Effexor worked best and controlled more symptoms than anything else. I used 300mg. per day. My problem is that I am afraid to take any medication anymore. I read a study that stated that Prozac, Zoloft, Pondimin, and Meridia change the shape of seretonin receptors in the brains of rats after only 14 days of administration of extremely high doses. It isn't known if these changes are permanent or harmful. I'm angry that this study wasn't done BEFORE the drugs were released. I thought these studies were done before the drugs are cleared by the FDA. I'm now scared of taking ANYTHING because of this. If anyone knows of other research on this subject or other ways of treating my problems PLEASE post.
