kramer: AD's making depression worse?

Posted by mat on April 3, 2002, at 4:06:13

hi dr.kramer
my question is:
have you seen patients that experienced a deterioration of their depressive symptoms from the onset of treatment with an antidepressant. is it possible that some people react in this way?
i take milnacipran (ixel in austria) 2x50mg for 4 weeks and i'm absolutely sure that this drug negatively influences my mood (no "pooping out"-it never worked)
thanks for your comment!

So try the other dual reuptake inhibitor venlafaxine: http://biopsychiatry.com/venlafax.html

Absolutely. Remember, the efficacy of drugs is based on population data. How any individual responds to any medication is only found out after they try it.

Sal, I want to tell you in the most respectful way, in a friendly manner, this dropping in a link thing, in my opinion, it isn't at all helpful. . . .WHOA, I made this identical post like last summer!

I encourage you to add a few personal words of your own, that's what I want to say.

Best,
Zo
