Hey guys, first post in this section but have been around a while now viewing threads. Anyways, I have suffered GAD for years and have always had manic-type episodes with any SSRI I have tried. Finally gave up and stuck to my .25mg klonopin at night for sleep. Well I couldn't hold a job down and was just cycling over and over turning to drinking to deal with anxiety/depression. Finally tried some more SSRI's with to success. After reading a LOT I finally asked for Remeron. Lifesaver! Turned my from laying in bed all day feeling sorry for myself waiting to drink at night to literally getting a really good job, my own place, and a new car within 2 months (literally!). That was 6 months ago. I still have the job, car, own place all that stuff but don't really feel 'happy'. Also, I have no motivation to do anything but stare (not watch, stare) at the TV when I get home and have zero energy. Also, the worst part is the brain fog. I had it before Remeron, but it is a little worse I think with it. Just feel extreme depersonalization. I can't stop the Remeron but am wanting input from you guys if ya'll know of anything I can add to it to help? Tried Wellbutrin but broke out in bad acne/greasy skin and rashes. After that was Adderall (adhd also) but was way too stimulating. Caused me to have nervous tics. I am thinking about adding lamictal or abilify or just something else to it. Any thoughts?? Thanks in advance!
