That's a pity.

Celexa or Lexapro would be a good one to try next.I've tried Lexapro before. It turned me into a zombie (to use a familiar descriptor amongst psych patients). My psychiatrist was thinking about prescribing an MAOI, given that I reacted well to Nardil in the past, but the problem is that I then have no chance of treating my attention issues.

I would try at least one more AD before thinking of anything neurological, especially since Zoloft and Prozac are known to cause that sort of thing.I'm not seeing a neurologist for the general restlessness. It's to treat the restless leg syndrome, which I've had on every single AD I've tried, and which destroys my sleep quality, making taking an AD otherwise kinda pointless.
