Have HA real bad,need help w/med

I don't think anyone can accurately answer that for you. Every body responds soo differently to each antidepressent out there. What works miracles for one person, could be horrible for another. All of our brains are wired differently and we respond differently to chemicals. If you've tried a couple different meds and they haven't worked, I would suggest seeing a psychiatrist. They seem to know more about each drug, which one works best for each illness AND they know how to even mix a few to provide the best results. I have a friend who had a hard time with almost all of the antidepressents until her psychiatrist mixed a few together ( I think she's on Lexapro AND Wellbutrin XL). So you may just have to keep trying until you get the results you need. Also remember, it can take up to one month to feel the complete results from any meds.. so sometimes time is what is needed.

I have bad HA,GADs/Depression ,I tried lexapro ,it drove my anxiety up the wall at 10 mg , then Dr put me on 20 mg ,my stomach was very ill ,only was able to take it 2.5 weeks ,then went to gen paxil,which is what i'm on now,i'm eating like a horse & have gained weight ,my dr told me watch what i eat & join exercise class....yea right,never had this prob before & i'm broke due to having to quit my job becuz of my HA .,my anxiety,even with 40 mg is crazy,but much better ,I could live with that,but gaining weight is depressing & don't want to increase the dose...:( . I was thinking about trying effexor XR ,I read(I know....my mistake) that effexor can make you nervous which my leg already shakes,lol but don't want to be sleepy either,also heard the effexor is good with weight...,my question is what's the best anti depressent for HA without all the side effects that others have experienced .? Please help ,my dr sayes I can change if I choose ,but i'm nervous about changing don't want to get back to where I was. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee helpppppppppppppppppppppp! Thx,Chris
