I’m so sorry to hear that after 20 years of being successfully on the combo, you have been left high and dry with no coverage for your depression. (Understand you’re still on Adderall for ADHD).
I’m on different anti-anxiety medication that I too have taken for 20 years under medical supervision (2 successive GPs) and I feel totally normal while on it with no side effects. Periodically we try weaning me off just to test but go back on as I do badly otherwise.
I have just read that experts generally agree that your 2 drugs should not be given together due to possible safety concerns, but in cases they may be under medical supervision. It’s shocking that the NP has made that call and I hope you can escalate it to a Doctor.
