I have had good success on two different occassions. Paxil and Wellbutrin worked well for me 1-1/2 years ago. Currently, Lexapro and Ativan (and possibly Wellbutrin in a month if the sexual side effects do not improve) are doing well, though I am only a month into the Lex treatment. I am lukcy as I seem to respond well to most medications. I do not expect one or any combination of drugs to be perfect 100% of the time or absolutely fail-proof, but I am thankful every day that I have the medications and wish I hadn't waited so long to get back on them.
From reading many of the posts here I have come to believe that greater success MIGHT be better obtained by receiving medication and treatment from a psychiatrist or others with more specializd training, rather than a general practicioner. (Of course, I realize that every person will respond differently to different drugs regardless of who prescribed them.)
Wishing everyone else success,
Terry
