Hey, I take offense at your pet peev! No, not really, it was probably the worst thing for me to go to a physician and get on a drug, but the only other person that could get me something (according to my therapist) was gone for 3 weeks. oh well, its all in the past now and there isn't anything I can do about it except clean up the doc's mess. Glad to know I'm not the only one that hates that.

> In all seriousness... my personal opinion after being in this game for, let's say several YEARS, is that Effexor-XR is by far the most promising medication on the horizon!! To be frank (no, not that jerk you dated last week), I use Effexor with a small dose of Celexa. Now why this combo works is a mystery, but by god it does for me. Perhaps it's the enhancement of SSRI with the SNRI's or something along those lines. You'd think one of the old drugs like Trazadone would boost the NE component.... NAWT! And I guarantee most of you you're General Practitioner would think you whacked in the head to consider such a combination :) However, in these matters... GET THE BEST PSYDOC you can find!

Get to a professional with years of experience, stay out of the health food stores, and mostly feel what your heart (not your mind) is telling you!
