I am in the midst of trying to make a decision about my meds. I know that I have hypothryoidism but haven't been able to tolerate the thryoid medications apparently because of my low ferritin, low B12. I was on Pristiq and went off of it. My depression is really bad again. The Dr' told me that I probably need to be back on antidepressants while getting these other things sorted out. My husband and my mother both felt that my mood was better on the Pristiq.
Coming off the Pristiq was rough, but I am starting to feel this is what I need to do.
I can't tolerate drugs like Paxil, Prozac, as they make me more depressed and have huge weight loss.
Wellbrutrin helped for a few weeks but caused agitation.
The nortprlyine worked for a few years and has lost it's effect.
Is there a difference in the drugs nortripline, effexor as opposed to Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft??
And, I understand Pristiq is the same drug as Effexor ?
Would anyone know ?
