Sorry, I should have mentioned that in the past I have tried some of the SSRI'S and was on Prozac for a few years but I didn't feel it helped me. I tried Paxil, Zoloft, Wellbutrin, Serzone and Effexor and none of them really worked much except the Effexor. I am very med sensitive. I do think my pdoc has my best interest at heart and I am depressed. I have a hard time getting going in the morning. Very unmotivated but agitated at times.
The famous psychopharmacologist I saw in Boston, Dr. Salzman, said that Lexapro would be a good one for me to try but I hesitate to try any more SSRIs. He also said EMSAM could work for me. I have GAD and SAD with depression.
As to my psychiatrist making me take an A/D, she won't if I tell her I will not take anything. She just wants to see me get out of this depression. I think she prescribed the patch because I mentioned I had seen some good reactions to it here and that Dr. Salzman said it would be okay to try it. I will probably try cutting it in half and see how that goes.
