Hello everyone,

I am wondering what anti-depressant everyone is taking if you are taking one and is it working? What is the best for fibro? I was on Effexor XR but because of my uncontrolled high blood pressure they took me off it. I have been on a lot through the years and havn't really been helped by any much. I'm still looking for the right one I guess. I'm wondering if I'm just one of those people that anti-depressants don't affect or maybe I need to take that one new med with it that is suppose to enhance it or work with it when yours isn't doing the job. Is anyone taking that with it? (can't remember name) Right now I'm on zoloft and I feel no difference. Any advise out there?

Ellen

Hi Ellen,
I first started out on Effexor, but the Dr. now changed me to Effexor XR, and I think it seems to help. I've hard of Savella, but I'm not sure what it is or if it works. It seems to work with me. How I can always tell is when I'm out of it and have to wait for the new perscription. Hope this helps.

Hugs, ~Dotti~
