Hi Cocohoneynut,
I didn't respond to your other post because I wasn't sure Effexor was a true SSRI, but I guess it's close enough? SSNRI? I take it w/200mgs Topamax.
I take the Effexor (300mg) for severe depression which a mood stabilizer alone doesn't seem to be able to handle...at least I haven't been able to find one yet that can.
I'm up to 200mg Topamax, and haven't gotten the greatest mood stabilization out of it. Still feeling a lot of depression and irritation/hypo stuff, but it has helped quell it down somewhat. Pdoc wants to add lithium, but I'm considering adding some alternative stuff instead, because I'm tired of all these heavy duty drug cocktails!
Let me know if you need any more info,
Sooshi
