Called my old pdoc today. I had to stop seeing him because of insurance problems and it was too much out of pocket:( When I last saw him, he said he wanted me to see a psychopharmacologist because he was "not convinced" Effexor was the appropriate drug for me and wanted me to see one of his esteemed colleagues to help him tease out the diagnosis. He said something like a "mood problem". Well this was back in October and I had to go to a pdoc that my insurance would cover and I just don't trust him. The incredible news is that this psychopharmacologist is now covered by my insurance!!! So I called my favorite pdoc and told him I was having a bad time and he called the psychopharmacologist and he got me in 2 weeks earlier! In the meantime, he upped my Effexor to 262.5 mg. from 225 mg. today and said just "hang on" until Tuesday! I feel so wierd though. . . It's that start-up, drugged out, spacey feeling. In just a few hours, I stopped obsessing about death, and I'am not crying. Really puts a halt on the emotions (not sure if this is good or bad, but it's ok). Anyway, I just feel bodily "strange" and just need some support during this time until I see the new doctor. Will this sleepy, lethargic, a little agitated feeling dissipate? It's a little unsettling. . . Thanks AnneL
