Every SSRI or SNRI I’ve tried over the years gave me severe side effects, effects that were worse than any horrible panic attack I’ve experienced. My Doctor decided to order Genomic Testing (he may have done so in part, thinking I was a hypochondriac) but it didn’t matter, I needed to find out if there was something I could take. At this point every medication in those categories and others ( I believe even old medications like Pamelor) came back in the extreme category- which means, do NOT take. Two came back in the upper moderate category, so he said, lets just keep doing what we are. I was Okay with that but what I take only helps to calm anxiety. This has led to feeling more hopeless as my depression continues to stay untreated.
