Col,
Have you considered augmenting your Effexor
with some Serzone? I think this would do a decent job
of quelling insomnia and agitation. Cognition may
be a downside. But Serzone is EXCELLENT for sleep
and general irritability. Probably boost the Effexor
AD experience too.People have had good luck with Wellbutrin to help
with anergic depression. It can go either way in regards
to anxiety. I felt less anxious and more energetic.
I would definately try Wellbutrin before Reboxetine. The
number of Wellbutrin success stories blow away the number
of Rebox success stories.Regards,
John

Effexor tended to work for me too, at only 75mg, but alas it also caused insomnia/aggression- bedtime anger, which was no fun, snarling at a pillow! I'm thinking maybeI'll add a low dose of wellbutrin or reboxetine, although I've no experience of either.Be interested to hear what you try next, as my doc. has never heard of sam-e....also, does your supplier ship overseas (uk)?
