Mark,
Thanks for the reply. I went to the emergency room because my psychiatrist is out of the country, it was the weekend, and I wasted away 3 week's doing nothing. I had been telling my mother and it got to the point we called neurologist and he said to go to this hospital.
Once I went and brought up the word antidepressant and brain zaps they admitted me. My psychiatrist will be back in a week and I will see him and we will have to figure out new regimen. I have been on my SNRI for a year now and I do not know if it is my tolerance to this SNRI or what is going on. I have chronic pain as well so the SNRI helps me.
Hopefully I can get back on stabilization sooner than later.

I have struggled with spaghetti brain (thoughts get all jumbled up) due to stress over the past 6 months. My doc put me on Celexa (SSRI) and Xyprexa (atypical anti-psychotic) and I feel much better. Went off the Xyprexa for a few days and symptoms returned.
Maybe you need to find a doctor who will spend more time trying to find a good med to help you be settled, both cognitively and emotionally.
As the saying goes, I feel your pain.
My best to you.
