MEDS: I don't know that to do with these. I think the shrink I see is pretty good (he is my only choice at the CCC), but I wonder if it's possible to feel better using other meds. He tried adding other stuff to anti depressants like Abilify/Zyprexa etc. but these seem to be heavy duty meds which put me to sleep and may have more scary side effects. This does not work with fatigue.

He sometimes says that he does not know what else to try. He prescribed Pristiq (spell?) which is the new version of Effexor. Effexor boosts my energy but also gives me high blood pressure and makes me a little manic/out of control which is not a good thing. I wonder if Pristiq will work out.

Does taking multiple anti depressants work?
