Hey Lexman,
You are only on 10mg of Lex. That is a pretty low dose, I got somewhat better on 10mg but not at all where I wanted to be. I moved up to 15mg and started feeling a lot better within two weeks. I just started 20mg and am waiting to see improvement from that here in a week or so. There are people on this board who take like 40 and 80 mgs of lex with no problem. You may just need to up your dose. I have also heard good things about adding wellbutrin to lex but I am pretty sure you cannot drink at all if you add that one. I believe effexor is pretty bad for drinking too.
I partied a lot in college but that was before this whole thing hit me so I understand wanted to go out with your friends and have a good time. Do remember that alcohol is a depressant and makes your meds not work as well. I drink some now and it does not seem to effect me too much. I honestly think you should ask your doc about upping your dose.
As for your burning sensation have you tried drinking apple cidar vinegar, as gross as it is, it is really good for stuff down there, also cranberry juice is good but not as much so as the vinegar.
Well Good Luck, God BlessI remember when I felt really bad I thought God had forgotten about me, I am now starting to realize that I am going though this hell to become a better person, He is using this experiene to mold me to be more like him.
