Reading these posts I get a feeling that almost everyone, a little happier or a little less, has side effects, and that they have to depend on cocktails of drugs so the one causing anxiety can be counteracted by one reducing anxiety, and then both have side effects and more drugs have to be brought in.
My wife has been taken off antidepressants and antipsychotics for one week. The new doctor wanted ground zero, and then possibly try Effexor and Remeron. She's had all kinds of combinations of drugs and the side effects have always been worse than the depression.
I fear that the medication solution is not going to be for her ever. I'm thinking she might have to go for St. John's Wort, Sam-e or alternative treatments, for I don't see her taking anything without suffering terrible side-effects.
