Hey all...
I'm usually a "lurker" on this board, but I feel I need to contribute a little... First of all, I have severe depression, social anxiety, and all is very "treatment resistant" I've been through the merry-go-round of meds several times over since I was 14 (now 27) The only thing that worked decently was nardil, but couldn't handle the side defects... Now I'm taking effexor XR @ 100+ mg/day whatever the 75mg + 37.5mg= I don't like to do math anymore.... Anyway... + 4mg/day klonopin, and I don't feel all that well... The effexor seems to worsen my anxiety now that I have acclimated to the klonopin... I just like to sleep all day if I take the effexor in the morning, and if I take it at night, I have restlesss sleep, and a very "speedy" next day. Will this go away with time or a dose increase? I've been on it for 8 weeks... I really don't know what to do anymore. I've been diagnosed BPD and BP2 + dissasociative disorder... My p-doc might soon put me on APs which I do not like the idea of, but if it works, what the f***...
Anyway- Phillipa - I love your input- you a cool person... Otherwise besides the sleepiness, the effexor is making me hit the booze hardcore!, so it must not be making me feel better... Just zippy! Love to all... Will this sh** go away?
