Not nearly. I'm just good with words.

> I actually was once on desipramine. No luck. And I've tried Effexor and Cymbalta. Effexor I tolerated for a few months until I just could not take the agitation anymore; Cymbalta I called my pdoc on day 2 asking to get off this stuff cos it was making me *crazy*. I have never tried Milnacipran. What class is it in?

Milnacipran is an SNRI. You might be overly sensitive to serotonin reuptake inhibitors. How did Paxil affect you?

I have seen Saphris (asenapine) do some rather nice things for anxiety and depression. Saphris is a AP, but has antidepressant effects and is not generally activating. It is currently working well for a friend of mine who has schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type. It helped with both depression and sleep.
