> I need some help. I have been depressed for a good 2 weeks now. I just want to sleep and am withdrawing from friends and family. I have been on Effexor XR 225 for over 1 1/2 years and Klonopin 1 mg. at night. I can't tolerate more than 225 of Effexor or else I get jittery. I will see my pdoc, but does anyone have any ideas?
> I need a kickstart or something. . . Thanks.
Anne, it sounds like you could benefit from an add-on of a sedative AD at bedtime so you can get to sleeping properly. You might try some Remeron. However, you might find a little amitriptyline or nortripytline more tolerable and much less appetite stimulating than Remeron.
