I am not symptom-free, but for the first time since I started trying to switch meds 3 months ago, I feel like I could live indefinitely with this mixture. For once I am not anxiously counting the days until my next pdoc appointment so I can make a change.
Here is what I take:
Zoloft 100mg
Wellbutrin XL 300mg
Remeron 15mg
Abilify 2mgI agree that Lexapro sounds like a great drug, but I was on Celexa for several years prior and it pooped out, so I am afraid that Lexapro might be somewhat pooped out for me, too.
Actually, one side effect I am having is early awakening from sleep. On the whole, my sleeping patterns are better, since I am sleeping at a normal time now, and I haven't had a great deal of difficulty falling asleep. But, I have been waking up after 4-6 hours. Remeron has not been anywhere near as sedating as advertised (not surprising, because I found Elavil stimulating), so I am suspicious that it may be waking me up when I take it before bed. Today I took my dose in the morning.
