I have a long history of failed meds:
Almost all SSRI's, except effexor--which caused me to gain 35 lbs and lose all interest in sex
I have also failed on Wellbutrin (caused panic attacks)
Low dose selegiline (caused panic attacks)
Trazadone (too activating--back aches)
Serzone (with the Wellbutrin trying to knock it back down a bit)
Moclobemide (panic attacks)
Even the amino acids l-tyrosine and glutamine cause panic attacks
Pdoc wants to put me on Effexor and stimulant--using Effexor to counteract the anxiety and panic attacks caused by activating agents and stimulant to counter-act the weight and sexual side effects of Effexor.
I'm a bit leary of going back on Effexor because I had a devil of a time getting off of it
