i have

225 mg Venlafaxine/day (Effexor)
150 mg Buproprion/twice a day (Wellbutrin)
10 mg lisinopril/day (blood pressure)
1 mg Lorazapam (Ativan) as needed up to 3 x day.

Dropped the hormones. Too expensive. Insurance charged me 50 bucks/mo and pay out of pocket was 40/mo. How does that makes sense?

So my severe perimenopausal symptoms try to steal relief from the medications intended for other purposes. It doesn't work so hot.

And still, not out of the woods.

I read in Darkness Visible (Styron) that there are trends to treat unipolar depression with Lithium. No. They offered. Lithium scares me much more so than the SSRIs. I don't want to be a complete zombie.
