In reply to Nortriptyline + Effexor: A good combo?, posted by schleprock on August 17, 2012, at 17:15:54
> Anybody think that some amount of Effexor added to 150mg of pooped-out Nortriptyline would work well for anxiety and depression? The interactions may not be as risky as compared with other types of ADs. Anyone ever try this (with a tricyclic?) Any thoughts on dosage, or the effectiveness of other SNRIs?
Great combination!
I got relief from nortriptyline 150 mg/day + Effexor 300 mg/day. I think you need to use the full therapeutic dosages of both drugs to glean a maximum response.
A friend of mine is doing very well with Pristiq 100 mg/day + Wellbutrin 300 mg/day. For her, she reports that Pristiq works better than Effexor. For you, the Wellbutrin might make anxiety worse. This combination works for people who are anergic and anhedonic.
