> Zoloft, Prozac and effexor, All seem to have this one set of effects on me that are intolerable. Effective levels of the drug for my depression and anxiety be it 20mg prozac, 100mg ZOloft, not sure about effexor seem to make me profoundly fatigued, or disinhibited. Sometimes the fatigue is so great that I cannot comprehend what is being explained to me in a conversation (SUPER ADD). Or disinhibited to the point of being obnoxious. Definately a part of my brain is put to sleep that controls higher/executive functions. My Cholesterol goes throught the roof on Zoloft. Plus my face swells on Zoloft and Effexor and they are both constipating, and Prozac scares me becaue it makes me disinhibited and it won't leave the body if something goes wrong(also I tried to commit suicide on it 6 years ago). I tried Remeron and Serzone and hated them both...

> ScottScott, I have been combining a low-dose SSri with another low-dose AD (non-ssri) for about two years now with good results (along with Neurontin+Klonopin). Zoloft+Nortriptyline worked ok, Celexa+Notriptyline ok, and now I am trying Celexa+Wellbutrin. The WB is a little *buzzy*. Maybe Wellbutrin+Prozac at lower doses could work for you-obviously you don't like Zoloft or Effexor.
god luck,
