> What is your diagnosis?
MDD, ADD and seizure disorder."And I take it that doxipin, effexor, and remeron with Wellbutrin have worked for you."
Full remission on each, about 10 yrs on Doxipin,
10 yrs on Effexor and presently about 4 yrs on the
Wellby. I have had a few breakthrough depressions
which either a dose adjustment fixed or a switch to a new med fixed.
" And Ativin- for anxiety?"If the stress/anxiety level passes what I can deal with through other coping means (most days) my depression will break through unless I take ativan.
