> You can get an even better and longer sustained response from Effexor if you add mirtazapine to it--the so-called "big-gun" combo mentioned by Dr Stahl, the guru of antidepressant combos: http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/split/Mixing-antidepressants.html

Yes, I've heard of this combination before. It might be worth a try. My only fear is that when I was on Effexor previously, I had SERIOUS problems with hypersomnia (sleeping very late into the day), and the drug bogged down into a state of apathetic, inorgasmic, I-don't-know-what-elseness. If I should try this combo and the same thing happens, I would then have to go through the infamous Effexor withdrawl - something I promised myself I wouldn't do again.
