Midwest- I maybe have not updated my profile...but he has been off the effexor for awhile now. He went from effexor to Wellbutrin which also did not work. He stopped taking the Wellbutrin on his own because he said he felt funny from it. He was off all medications for about a week and really spiraled downward. He was put back on Zoloft (which did not help before although no bad reactions) and we were finally going to try Lamictal. This happened before we had a chance to add the Lamictal. I don't think that we could have gotten him admitted inpatient if it were not for the police. I think that maybe he will get the additional help that he needs now. At least I hope so!
Thanks Janna- I sent you an email.
OTE- Thank you for all the information. I agree with the article you posted. I have lots of reading and filling out of forms to do. I emailed you as well.
