I am sooooo sorry for your losses. I could not imagine what you are going through. I understand about your feelings however and can greatly sympathize with you regarding your state of mind. I am also the RN of the family too!!! (doesnt it amaze you how silly family can be regarding medical info??)
I have been treated with everything and my pdoc had about given up, but I found that cymbalta 120mg Qday, and Lamictal 300mg Qhs with 1 mg xanax as needed 3xday has been my lifeline. I found in addition to needing meds for my serotonin, I needed something for the neurotransmitter, norepinephrine levels. If you still take effexor, it will effect the norepi too but only on HIGH doses. I have tried abilify which works on all three neurotransmitters, including DOPAMINE, did NOT agree with me. So maybe you want to research what all your meds do and maybe you can find a common link like I did.My heart goes out to you....
