Alongside Effexor-XR???
I see some take Eff-XR w/ one or the other, Wellbutrim or Lamictal.
>I would also add either Zoloft or Lexapro into the mix.>
I'm always falling into the black hole w/ the SSRIs. I go to the place you cannot cognitively think tomorrow could be a better day, and, they increase my greatest problem, my anxiety.
My reg is as follows:
alprazolam-XR 1mg morn' a day
alprazolam 2mg 3-4x a day
Provigil 200mg or prn a dayI've become a vegie, lie in bed, no intention, no desire, interest. Something has to light a fire beneath me.
I've never been on a mix; except trazadone for sleep and Eff-XR. Was doing okay but everytime a pdoc wanted to go above 250mg on Eff-XR, I'd be scared to increase and instead stop it. o_o
He prescribed 75mg Eff-XR today. He plans to add in Remeron at a later date, so do you have time hang in here w/ me a bit on this?
Tks for getting back to me and no matter it was a little late. Kinda glad he didn't write the Rem yet.
Provigil is considered an augmentor, I believe. I've never taken it w/ Effexor-XR before, so maybe this will make a diff'?
Another idea; trazodone never really hurt me at all, slept very well, just didn't seem like a really clean drug. Would maybe this be a better augmentor alongside Eff-XR?
