are the two meds good together. i need something for hearing voices, anxiety and depression. i have taken effexor xr-75mg, zoloft 50mg, celexa,20m, seroquel 100mg, risperdal for 1mg. the celexa, zoloft, lexapro. the lexapro made me have mood swings. i tolerated the celexa but it made me gain weight, zoloft worked but wore off in 2 years, risperdal made me have headaches, effexor 37.5 worked well but the 75 mg made my bp go up. any suggestions

I take the two of them together with good results for recurrent depression, GAD, OCD and social phobia. I also take doxepin at night to help me sleep soundly. I'm not sure you should to go back on the Effexor if it caused hypertension in the past. Maybe you could combine the Klonopin with Cymbalta since it is "similar" to Effexor and it may not have the same effect on your blood pressure. Monitor your BP carefully.
Good luck!
