I'm just going to try to reply to everyone in one post and then answer specific questions....I have tried all the SSRI's (I think), Serzone, Effexor, Wellbutrin, and the only other NE effecting drug I took that I know of was Strattera. I didn't sleep for 3 days on Strattera. I tried, laid in bed, just couldn't sleep. I took Effexor a while ago, so I can't remember what it did exactly, but I'm pretty sure I didn't hate it. I haven't tried any TCA's yet. I'm trying to get a better understanding of meds before I try more of them so that I can try ones that I think would work the best first. I've recently learned that Pdoc's don't often follow the science of the meds they prescribe, and this makes sense to me....
Reboxetine seemed like an interesting drug...it's part of the reason I ask about norepinephrine. Serzone also increased my anxiety, this vigilance thing, and I think Serzone is an SNRI? I don't understand this stuff very well, obviously, and I'm not trying to be a neuropharmacologist or whatever...I'm just trying to help myself the best I can. I'm the only one trying to figure out the mystery of my brain. I would love it if I could just sit back and the doctor would heal me but that hasn't happened and I won't give up yet. My goal with this post was to move a little closer to isolating what I need to tweak in my brain...Since Wellbutrin works great for my depression, I don't want to lose whatever that is, but....
My most helpful drug has been Klonopin I believe...Trileptal has helped some too, in that it helps me be more stable and kinda numb.
Thanks for the replies.
