> I've been treated for depression, anxiety, and social phobia since I was about 12. The doctors have tried almost everything to help me, even ECT (at age 23). I'm 25 now. So, my doctor and I have been trying a lot of unconventional approaches to my treatment because all of the "safer" options have been tried. We just keep trying and trying to help me. I think that if I had love and real friendship in my life, I could stop taking a lot of these drugs.
I still don't see the use in combining these three drugs together when they all do almost the exact same thing. You could probably just use a higher dose of the one that helps you the most and achieve the same effect without complicating things. Is this drug cocktail providing relief for you? Have you tried any dopaminergic drugs or a low-dose of an anti-psychotic? Many consider Wellbutrin a dopaminergic med but it's effect on dopamine is really very weak.
