After a long period trying different ADs, I've gone back to Effexor. My Dr. prescribed the latest incarnation, Pristiq, supposed to be more effective but some say it's just a trick to extend the patent.

Along with the Pristiq, my Dr has prescribed a folate supplement that is supposed to make the AD more effective.

I'm starting the second week and feel ok, hoping for better results as more time goes on.
