> Is there something you can add to reduce anxiety and the muscular symptoms? I'm thinking Klonopin or Xanax PRN. Or perhaps, even though SSRIs don't work for you alone, maybe an SSRI plus Wellbutrin combo might work out for you. Which SSRIs have you tried? Paxil is supposed to be more sedating and have fewer anxiety/panic side effects than a med like Zoloft.
My twitching has almost stopped. But I'm definitely more depressed though not awfully (yet) on the 150 XL.
I do take Clonopin every night. Because of my drug sensitivity, I take 1/2 of .5 most times for sleep and/or anxiety.
The SSRIs that I've tried have been: Lexapro, Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa. All of them have made me feel as if I've been stuffed with cotton (almost no feelings), very sleepy, and very hungry. I would come home from work,lie down, fall asleep (something that I never, ever do) and then get up to eat and crash again.
It's very frustrating.
BTW.. to the person who said it might take time to get used to the generic. I was on the generic for a number of years and it definitely did not work as well, if at all as the brand name.
Thanks to you all.
Please keep the ideas coming.
