Hi doxogenic.
I'm hanging in there and am alright--thanks for asking : )
My pdoc will be away from today (my last session w/ him was today) until the 20th of October. He helped me set up a good safety net.
So, no, I haven't tried Strattera. We'll (most likely) taper (somehow) the pristiq when he returns. I think I'm on board with him to try this. One step at a time....
As far as anxiety, well, I'm on benzos--right now xanax xr 1mg 3x per day) which seems to be enough w/ an occasional dose of regular xanax. I haven't tried many of the meds others here have to reduce chronic anxiety--like higher doses of ADs or other things, so I don't think I have much to offer you as an answer.
BTW I haven't really been on the board for, gosh, a good week. Maybe you have another thread going about this? Maybe tonight I can cruise and see what's new.
Best to you,
fb
my babblemail is always on.
