I have been suffering from anxiety neurosis and irritability for the last 15 years. Why am I not responding to my current antidepressants, and what alternative medicines should I take?

Asked by Female, 45 · 22 hours ago

Not responding to antidepressants can occur due to treatment-resistant anxiety, inadequate dosing, or genetic differences in drug metabolism. Additionally, chronic irritability might suggest an underlying mood disorder requiring different management. Potential alternatives to discuss with your doctor include: 1. Switching Classes: Moving to a different class, such as SNRIs (e.g., Duloxetine) or pregabalin. 2. Augmentation: Adding buspirone, a beta-blocker, or low-dose atypical antipsychotics to boost efficacy. 3. Therapy: Combining medication with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).\n\nPlease consult your psychiatrist for a comprehensive re-evaluation and a safe transition plan. Never stop your current medication abruptly.
