Hey Ben, sounds like you have treatment resistant depression like me...I get breakthrough all the time and am in the process of switching meds...I was on Effexor augmented with a thyroid drug called Cytomel...maybe your Eff. needs to be ramped up a bit. I was on 375mg a day which is pretty high (the max.) but it was the only place where I could get some results. You've still got some room to elevate so maybe you should discuss that with your doctor. It sounds like you're on the right track with an augmentation strategy, though.
Good luck,
Karen> Hi
> I take 225 mg Effexor XR, Neurontin 1200 mg and Lithium (last level 0.8 mmol). I was very stable on it for about 5 months and suddenly I am depressed again. I tried many ADs and combos and this was the best. But why it stopped working ? What should I do ? I am hopless again - please help me !
