@daveshaw, I’m happy for you that you and your doctor were able to find something else for you to take and it didn’t cause you any problems. Were it possible that everyone could find the right medication so quickly, we would be so much happier in our lives. I have lost count as to how many different medications I tried to take and failed each time due to profound side effects that were worse than the ailment. Every time you try another drug you get messed up by the side effects and then you have to stop them and wait for your system to calm down, then you’re given something else and that doesn’t work so onward you go until you can’t deal with it anymore. Consider yourself very lucky and I hope that things don’t change for you down the road.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. I feel like a pharmaceutical guinea pig. It sucks. Currently dealing with wit severe insomnia but my depression and headaches are, or seem to be cured. However it took 1 new med Memantine, which is actually an Alzheimer’s med, a trip to the ER (that hasn’t happened in years), 2 nerve blocks and a few trigger point injections. I FEEL FANTASTIC! But let’s see how long this lasts.
Me too. Right now my only battle left is with insomnia. I’ve been prescribed Ativan and Vistaril which obviously works but I’ll be the first to admit that I abuse the Ativan for 2 reasons. It also helps my headaches and because of my depression all I wish for is to sleep. It’s the only sanctuary I have left. No street drugs or alcohol or cigarettes. Just let me sleep please. I’m seeing a new psychiatrist today. I hope the he/she really really knows her meds because I know I do.

I am certainly not a Doctor but I did try Remeron and I had terrible side effects.
I had the best luck with a combination of Zoloft,Wellbutrin and Buspar. Zoloft is I think one of the most described antidepressants and pairs very well with Wellbutrin.
Good luck. Finding the right combination is tough and you are right that it is like starting over again.
