Actually, Paxil worked wonders but I absolutely cannot have sex and that adds quite a bit of stress on a marraige. Next good combo was Wellbutrin XL 150mg and 1mg Xanax XR twice daily.
Do you still take Abilify? I had a good response to it before but had a weird side effect and it scared me a bit. I was squating down working on an outside faucet in some pretty cold weather. I jumped up and ran inside and had this feeling of extreme vertigo that wouldn't stop. Room spinning feeling like I was going to pass out, actually almost went to the ER. I can't remember the term but I later read this sensation can be a side effect of Abilify and some tricyclics. I was also scared of tardive d. Now that it is actually approved for depression, it's a possibility to revisit. Since it actually works on dopamine and doesn't shut it down like older antipsychotics, it seems to be less likely to cause TD. What do you think?
