Okay, here's what's happening. Any feedback is appreciated...
Pristiq was an unqualified disaster. My pdoc, looking at the long list of SSRIs and SNRIs I tried, and failed or couldn't tolerate, has prescribed 1 mg Abilify as a standalone (still keeping my ativan for anxiety and trazodone for sleep).
There are, however, two SRIs I have not tried: Cymbalta (I don t expect that I could tolerate it, though) and Luvox. I have heard of great success with Luvox.
After all my trouble with meds, I am very, very resistant to jumping to another class. I have read that people on Abilify can gain weight over time. I already have 15 lbs to lose, which has really affected my self esteem.
Couldn't I just--has anyone--be okay on supplements? Should I ring my pdoc and ask about Luvox?
Tired and mired (but better than wired and tired), Amelia
