Hi Everyone....It makes me sad that so many people have problems getting on the right combo/med. My step daughter is scheizo-affective (sp?), she had her first break at 15. We watched her go through alot and it was really hard on us. Even today she still has 3 different meds she takes. I myself take effexor. I had 5 continuous years of high stress which really did a number on me. I started out with Paxil which made me a zombie! I got off that and eventually ended up taking zoloft which was much better for me but after awhile it lost it's affectiveness. I was on 50m and did not want to take a higher dose however my thinking was torturing! The effexor helped that immediately, however I have not found it as affective on my depression. I take 150mg which is ironic after I got on it because I didn't want to take a higher dose of zoloft....A friend of mine takes celexa and has suggested I try it. She tried effexor and did not like it.
