> Have you seen a psychiatrist? You might try one because he/she will be able to narrow down what medications will work for your symptoms more effectively than a GP. Also, keep trying w/ the therapist thing. 2 opinions does not make it a fact that you are untreatable. Welcome to PB.
> MMYes I have seen a psychatrist. He was the first 'professional' to tell me I'm untreatable. :( He also sent a letter to my GP to advice him on what medication would be appropriate. Although I wasn't happy with his feelings about therapy, he seems to be right about the meds. The Effexor XR 225 mg is working for me. His advice was to increase me up to 300mg. I do have to say though, that I'm more than a little concerned with everything I have read here about Effexor even though it is working. But even with these reservations I KNOW that if not for it, I would have killed myself by now.
