I know it's not a cocktail, but my guess is the more stimulating medications would be more suitable. Have you not considered Wellbutrin in your equations..?

coffee is pretty good for my social anxiety..............................
Is it safe to combine pristiq and zoloft? If I did that I'd probably get serotonin syndrome. When I take two antidepressants with serotonin action I get really crazy feelings like psychosis stuff. Jumbled thoughts and just obviously wierd stuff.

Yeah, it's safe in low dosages. That's what I'm doing now and it works pretty well. Zoloft tends to make a bit sleepy but not with the Pristiq.
