Effexor XR (extreme anxiety/akathisia like feeling), Wellbutrin SR and XL (extreme anxiety and quickness to anger), nortriptyline (same as Wellbutrin), selegeline (depression somewhat relieved but anxiety very Wellbutrin-like.)
Meds that worked, but then pooped out: Zoloft (yay! best ever.), Nardil (seems to work in combination with testosterone but never as well as the first two times), Parnate (dose had to go so high over time as to provoke unacceptable hypomania, where the response became hypomania or nothing.)
My doctor once mentioned "super-dosing" SSRIs to regain response. One other professional mentioned this: a psychiatric NP I met who has bipolar disorder herself. Should I not regain the response I had recently after re-adding Testim, I dunno what I'm gonna do.
I will look to see what you have to say about Viibryd, that's for sure.
Hope I didn't offensively hijack the thread folks..
