Tried Effexor in doses upto 300mg/day and it did very little, thats when I was refered to a psychiatrsit and switched to sertraline plus reboxetine...... and within a week I was feeling very much better. Stuck with that for a while, then changed to sertraline + nortriptyline to see if that was better for anxiety, but it didnt make much difference, but did cause weight gain, which I didnt need, so went back to reboxetine.
Have also tried sertraline + bupropion, found it about equal to sertraline plus reboxetine (insurance in Australia only covers bupropion for smoking, not depression as that is all it is lisenced for here, and its quite expensive if you pay cash for it, where as reboxetine is covered for depression and is cheaper, so I went back to reboxetine)
My current regimen is sertraline 100mg in the morning, reboetine 4mg twice a day and alprazolam 1mg 2-3 times a day.
I'm pondering switching the sertraline for mirtazapine to see if its better for anxiety.
