I'm like you, i respond better to Norepinephrine enhancing drugs than serotonin ones. And also, I too am very sensitive to medications. The problem with NE enhancing drugs is they seem to make me cycle and eventually crash big time.
Lexapro is strong (for me) in the sense that i wake up grinding my teeth, feeling way too hyper, and like my head is going to explode. At the same time it doesn't quite fix my depression much.
I'm not sure what to try next. I've tried most of the SSRI's and Paxil was the only one that didn't do anything for the depression, but didn't make me feel too medicated either. REmeron worked great until it stopped. Maybe REmeron and Paxil together? Who knows.
