Hi,
I have been researching and talking to people and I am very optomistic about some of the meds available to treat my Social anciety, ADD, and atypical depression. However, i have had the sad experience of a med (paxil cr) stop working effectively for me and the memory of this is a cloud that over shadows my hopefulness. I still havn't recovered from the paxil going out on me and as a result i have my first psychiatrist appointment in a week. My questions are:What meds most commonly poop-out, i mean is there a trend? My blind assumption would be that the more selective, gentler meds would stay effective for longer and the less-selective, generally older meds like Maoi's and tryciclis would poop-out more
Also, what actually causes the med to poop-out and which mental illnesses are less treatable in the long term. I've heard that bipolar tendencies has something to do with it but i'm pretty much in the dark. Knowledge is power so if any one could help me out here i would be very very grateful
