Gabbi,
That must be *endlessly* frustrating for you not to be able to get what works for you. Will you be able to change pdocs ever...? And I can't remember what you said, but what was the miracle drug for you?

> Hi Dinah. I hope I can offer you a little comfort because you and I have had similar reactions to many drugs.. Effexor (YIKES) Wellbutrin, I know we share a hatred of sensitized Noripinephrine receptors.. We got sumo wrestler head(I'll never forget your description) from Seroquel, and we are prone to anxiety.

I felt energized and optimistic but not nervous at all, it combined with my A.D was my miracle combination actually.
