Hi all
I have suffered from Panic disorder and depression since a teenager. I have been on Tofranil (Impramine)for about 25 years. Ever since 9/11( an eye witness) I have not been able to get myself back to a "happy state" My doc felt that there were so many better drugs out there with less side effects and might be more effective for the depression.
So I was put on Zoloft which initially worked very well but then the side effect of insomnia kicked in and I have been sleep deprived although it helped my mood. I also had sexual dysfunction and restless leg syndrome. I was switched to Lexapro which was a disaster tremors etc. So the feeling is that SSRI are activating me too much. My doc is considering remeron. Anyone been in a similar situation on SSRI's and has it helped. I am also concerned about what I read about weight gain however I am on prevacid for acid refulx don't know if that would reduce that side effect similar to Zantac does.
