> 1-A good anti-depressant-still looking but one with no sexual sides.Well, I haven't as of yet found a good antidepressant for me, so I'm not sure about that one. Except that I don't think the sexual side effects of Effexor are really a problem for most people, but I could be wrong. I think you could try a higher dose of Wellbutrin... people go much higher than 150 (I went up to 400), and also going longer than a month might result in some efficacy.
> 2-A good anti-anxiety agent-happy w/klonopin
Don't know much about benzos, but Wellbutrin and Effexor are both used for anxiety as well as depression.
> 3-A good stimulant-maybe need something stronger than Ritalin
I've never been on a stimulant, but I'm looking into them too. I can't take them right now because I am on Parnate.
> 4-A good sleep aid-Remeron works perfect at 15 mgs.but am open to other sleep aids.
I use trazodone. I've used it for 2 years and it's been good all along. You can tweak your dose as you need to, and I usually don't have any problems feeling tired or drowsy the next day.
I know this isn't all that helpful, but I just wanted to give you my thoughts! Good luck!
