Keep trying! Finding the right medication can be an extremely long and arduous process, but if you work closely with your physician/psychiatrist you will find the right balance for you. Bear in mind that new drugs are being released into the market everyday and research is ongoing. There is hope, just don't give up! I recommend keeping a journal of the medications you take, how long you were on them, how you felt and any side effects of the drug. Share this list with your doctor to help him/her rule out some things that might be very similar or possibly try some combinations of drugs. Having psychotherapy in combination with your drug treatments would likely be extremely helpful as well. A great deal can be overcome just by learning how to think about things differently and what actions you can take (such as diet and exercise) to impove your overall feeling of wellness. Good luck!

What is a good alternative to Pristiq?

It depends on many things: what you were taking Pristiq for in the first place, what dosage, what you've tried before, what side effects you suffered from with Pristiq, etc. The best alternative (as in, most equivalant switch) would be Cymbalta which is the only other approved SNRI (subtype of antidepressant that includes Effexor, Pristiq and Cymbalta). Effexor also, but Pristiq is the "upgraded" version of Effexor already (as Lexapro is the "upgraded" version of Celexa). Only a doctor can determine which is the best alternative for you.

I take 200MG of lamictal now and am on Celexa- Can I switch to lamictal and Effexor?

Since the drugs deal with slightly different problems and you do not begin to give anywhere near enough information about your particular problem for anyone to make a decision how can you expect someone on the internet to give you advice on that issue? Not only are both of those drugs for slightly different purposes, but both should be closely monitored. If you are a 100 pound woman 200 mg of lamictal could be considered a fairly large dose. If you are a 225 pound man, 200 mg of lamictal could be considered a small dose. You need to explain to your doctor why you think you need to replace celexa with effexor. Normally effexor replaces a different type of drug. Still if celexa is not working, he may have misdiagnosed the problem.
