Symptom patterns vary so much from person to person. Until there are some significant advances in science, we'll just have to go with what works for us as individuals.
Maybe our response to these meds will eventually shed some light on the nature of our condition. Isn't it great to be part of this experiment?

> I'll go with what mattdds said. NE medications cause lots of anxiety problem in those prone to them and in my case I become a person with a short fuse and a big temper, which is not how I am normally, being adhedonic in nature since my depressive disorder started back 27 years ago.
