I'm just sometimes not sure that this Nardil to Seroxat plan is going to work out, I'm just going on the fact that the Seroxat seemed to work better last time after I'd stopped taking Nardil but it could just be pure co-incidence.

Hi Denise,I think a lot of people are kind of in the same boat - on some med trial with no idea whether it's going to work, knowing that any results (IF any results) will be at least a few weeks in the future and feeling like crap in the meantime. It's an awful place to be.
I'm back on Celexa. I had done a month's trial of Lexapro to see if it would help more with anxiety but it just made it worse. The Celexa isn't perfect, still have some anhedonia and apathy and energy problems, still some unpleasant side effects but I can at least function and can get by with a lot less Klonopin. Actually today I felt pretty good.
My biggest problem the last few months has been waking up scared. Followed by getting out of bed and getting more scared. That's getting better. Thanks for asking.
And remember, if the Nardil/Seroxat thing doesn't work, there's always another option. And if the Zyprexa keeps you going in the meantime, take it. Zyprexa has gotten me through some really rough times. (I don't take it often either - it makes me want to stay up all night drinking coffee, or else take drugs, or else binge on food. Now that I think of it, it makes me want to do all three.) Anyway, if it helps you there's no reason to feel worried about it. I don't think it has a rep for pooping out.
