Med to augment Effexor-XR; improve efficacy?

Posted by Fivefires on July 11, 2008, at 16:36:13

I've gone through the worst major depressive episode of my life these past months.

I am on Provigil, but even this doesn't seem to be enough to conquer the malaise, fatigue.

I'm on a benzo, must since incident of 2005 which I believe must have done some damage to my nervous system.

Eff-XR decreased anxiety in the past; doesn't seem to be working the same way this time; had a couple panic attacks last couple days.

No appetite. I've lost 10-12lbs in last few mos.

Anyyyyywaaayyyy ....

Has any1 had long-lasting or even 3-4month-lasting success w/ a medication to serve as an augmentor, to take alongside E-XR, and increase it's effectiveness; an awake, sense of well-being?

Began wk1 75mg, wk2 150mg, now wk3 225mg, and next wk4 go to 300mg.

I've never been on this high a dose; 300mg!

I would say nervousness, fatigue, and agoraphobia are my most bothersome probs'.

Much thanks to any1 for their suggestions or sharing their experiences!

bestwishes, 5f
