Phillipa,
So your appointment was successful? It sounds like it. Yes, my doctor is willing to prescribe. I don't usually have anxiety with the depression. But.. drugs like desiprimine can certainly change that. Anxiety is a lot less since I stopped it and started getting some sleep.
Hopefully the Savella will work. One can only try right? I liked Nortriptyline for the NE effects so I think that coupled with serotonin sounds like a good plan. Who knows. This all seems to be like a crapshoot to me.
Take care. Hope things continue to go well for you my friend,
Laney
Diagnosis: depression and anxiety
Current meds: paxil 20mg., desiprimine 20mg., clonazepam .5mg.
Of meds tried, nortriptyline worked the best but caused major weight gain so d/c
