In reply to what meds did to me, posted by bigscreen on August 28, 2005, at 0:55:49
As the other poster said, these are small doses-- even my starting dose of Risperdal was higher. And I took 400mg of Effexor. And that was just for social anxiety at the time.
I can't believe you're not on a benzodiazpiene while waiting at least for these meds to kick in. A simple Klonopin 3x/day is typically extremely helpful for obsessive thoughts... if you feel like a thought is "repeating" in your head, it would basically stop that... assuming you take the right dose for your body.
But you're on low doses, especially for your symptoms. And frankly, if your doc isn't giving a benzo to you for what you just explained, I really would consider talking to him about that. You have a very severe and painful problem you're suffering with, that's affecting your life.
Ask him why I'm given Klonopin daily so I can feel comfortable with picking up girls while you worry whether you won't hurt your son.
I honestly think doctors that don't prescribe a benzo in this case need to go to jail.
