is 4 months long enough for a med to work

Posted by shadowmon on July 25, 2008, at 18:47:15

I have been trying to get effexor to work for me for 4 months. I have gone from 75 all the way up to 225mg and it's not working. I have even been put on wellbutrin which is not helping and making it so I can't sleep. I also take trazodone for sleep and well I have maxed out the dosage on that med. I am considering going back to paxil cr. which I have had remission and stopped taking because I was having a GAD flare up and the dr suggested effexor.
Do you think I gave it a fair shot? I'm miserable, Isolated and depressed. but.. I don't have any GAD.
I have done this once before, with lexapro which didnt work either. gone back to paxil. What are the chances that the paxil won't work? Is taking a break from it helpful when I go back on it?
