I am currently taking 150mgs of Zoloft, 2.5 mgs Zyprexa, and 1000 mgs of Depakote. I am still experiencing some fairly heavy depression and extreme anxiety. I am going to have a hard time expressing what I really feel like though. Basically I feel like I've had a minor lobotomy.
A year and a half ago if I took 150 to 200 mgs of Zoloft it was too much for me. Then again, I was not on the other meds. Now, I feel like I can go as high as 200 and I start feeling better but I begin to get an awful constant ache in my brain. I've had a fairly consistent headache for much of this past year. Part of me wonders if being put under general anesthesia 4 times in one year did any damage to my brain. I just feel a lot of constant pressure in my head and I cannot seem to find my way out of the fog. I know this could be severe anxiety.
I will get plenty of sleep, get a little exercise, hang out with friends, and still find my self yawning all day and night. I have definitely lost something in the past year and a half that I am desperate to get back. You can even see it on my face, I look like a zombie as my eyes are expressionless and my pupils are dilated.
Could adding Nortriptyline to Zoloft help me? Can Nortriptyline help with anxiety? I've tried wellbutrin and it makes my body tremble.
If I take Nortrityline does it have to be taken at night or can I try taking it in the morning? Your responses will be much appreciated.
