Thought I'd just chime in with my personal experience. It's so frustrating that psychiatric understanding of the mechanisms by which some of these drugs work, is so crudely understood, or not understood at all. I have taken every SSRI, SSRI + Antipsychotic, SNRI's and now 2 tricylics. Effexor made me very anxious, as did a related anaglesic, tramadol. It's hard to say what was doing what, as I went frantic, when bumped up to 80mg Prozac too. I have my psychiatric records, and one doctor noted, that I did experience an increase in anxiety with the trial of noradrenergic medications along with development of motor neuron tics Now, on clomipramine, I have virtually no anxiety, but total apathy/anhedonia, foggy mind, I hate it, if anyone has any suggestion for something I might take to counter this, (had the same foggy head with imipramine) I would be grateful.
