Nawwww, I'm a chicken. I lost a month of my life to Effexor. And Wellbutrin had me almost commit suicide. I can't handle agitation, even with a benzo (and he's not benzophobic) and with my Depakote. First sign of agitation, and I'm outta here.
My pdoc tried to get me to hang through the agitated period with Effexor and I tried, and regretted trying.
But my pdoc says one good thing about the "dirty" older antidepressants is that you can't always tell how any particular person is going to react. He says it might have a lower impact on NE than effexor or wellbutrin, so I'm willing to give it a try. But I don't want to jump from an unproductive life to an unbearable one. :((
Thanks, Jay.
