I've suffered with major depression, panic attacks, anxiety, anxiety, social anxiety, PTSD from my little brothers suicide and childhood trauma, etc. Its all been going on for about a decade.
I've tried every SSRI they have to offer, as well as other anti anxiety medications &amp; PRNS.

I'm currently on Lamictal which is the ONLY drug that's ever come close to stabilizing me. A miracle drug. I take gabapentin in the afternoon for anxiety as well (it makes me too tired in the morning which sometimes triggers my depression. Not how I want to start my day). 

I've never tried SNRI's... but I recently learned that many insurance companies won't cover them. That almost makes me feel like they're better. And many studies show that they are. I did the genetic testing and I was recommended Pristiq. I think I can get my way through insurance because I've tried probably 20 or more drugs at this point. 

I want to know your guys' experience on SNRI's. I would want to take it in combination with Lamictal.
