> Anyway, I seemy pdoc this week too and I'm going to be more assertive and tell him we've got to do more. He's mentioned adding Mirapex - but he doesn't seem to follow through with what he says he's going to do. He's also one of those pdocs that can't remember me or my case from appointment to appointment. UGH...but I DO have the option to switch doctors. We'll see. Right now the 375mg of Effexor isn't doing much of anything - it's not helping with my depression OR anxiety. Perhaps a trial on Cymbalta....I dunno.

Hello Jerry,I have been clinically depressed for over 13 years and I know from experience that it really pays to be assertive. Some pdocs are extremely conservative and if you don't let them know that you have done your research and know what you are talking about, chances are, things will remain the same, meaning you will continue to be depressed. If you have to, get another opinion and switch pdocs. Perhaps the new pdoc will be willing to try Cymbalta if the current one won't. Good luck to you and please continue to post as we here at PB are concerned about your well being.
