I think I'm a slow metabolizer in general. I could never take more than about 50mg of Effexor, my Celexa maximum dose is 10-15mg, on Prozac I took 20mg 2-3 times a week and .5 mg of Klonopin controls anxiety fairly well. I also get drunk on two beers. OTOH I could gulp down 30mg of hydrocodone and feel just fine.You know it's upsetting that there are specific protocols for treatment of every possible kind and variation of cancer but no treatment protocol for various symptoms/type of depression beyond simply SSRIs or SNRIs for MDD and mood stabilizers for bipolar. It makes me want to get in the boat with Linkadge and either use my own power to row like hell (quit all drugs and let my brain rebalance itself) or just sink the d*** thing.
