Hi Scott and Phillipa,
Effexor could be possible, but I hesitate to feel numb again. It's difficult to explain. Pristiq, which I stopped in October, maybe, didn't stop much anxiety, but it did do more than I gave it credit at the time.
Paxil I have not tried. Doxepin recently seemed intolerable, but I stopped after
two days, truth be told.Nardil more than parnate? I ask because effexor was very stimulating during my run with it--though I tolerated it well (w/ xanax :-/ ). Since fatigue is so big.
Vilazadone was mentioned in another conversation. I'll be looking at that and it's 5hta-1 agonist action.
I appreciate this input from folks. I'll be
doing some detective work. I'm very pleased that my alliance w/ my pdoc is being repaired and he is interested in working with the additional challenges that fibromyalgia adds.Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Onward, slowly :P
