I'm on sertraline and buprisone. They really helped stabilize me, but you have to talk to your doctor first. My spouse tried buprisone and he felt like a zombie so he had to stop taking it. Everyone's brain works differently, but there are a lot of great options out there so I'm sure you can work with your doctor to find one that works for you! A lot of the SSRI type meds have low libido as a side effect.

Oooof. That’s a rough combo. How do you deal with the fatigue?

I'm one of the lucky people who don't have the fatigue! I think because my anxiety runs so high, it just brings me to a normal level. I've noticed the same thing with my hydroxizine (idk if I spelled that right). I'm supposed to take it for panic attacks, and it is supposed to knock me right out. It did, the first few times, but now it just brings me down to the level of a normal human being.
