Howdy Ya'll,
I didn't wake up in as bad a mood as I thought, and I had a decent conversation with my mom in the early a.m., but not a good day at all. I'm consciously trying to break out of the obsessive cycle and hold a still mind, but I'm hopelessly wound up in my head. What do you think of blueberries' idea of adding zyprexa to boost the Effexor and "guard" against poopout. He made some interesting observations.I took your advice today, and will continue on the 75mgs in the morning and 75mgs at night. My pdoc writes the scripts but you know a hell of a lot more than she does. Maybe if/when I get insurance I can consult a true psychopharmacologist. I'll still run any and all ideas past you though :-) Her great insight last time was that she "had a patient who didn't respnd to lexapro and then responded to Zoloft". As if that is news to me. She seemed surprised that this kind of thing happens. Lady I don't know HOW you got through med school. But while on the Effexor I don't need a genius to be taking care of me. I will give the Effexor/Lamictal combo time and not throw anything else into the mix. I WOULD however like to hear your take on Zyprexa.
Also, I moved the Lamictal up to 600mgs on my own. My pdoc has me at 225mgs, but I have tons of samples so it ain't a big deal. But the 600 was just for a day. I should probably go back down to 400 or maybe even 225?? Effexor Effexor Effexor, and Time Time Time is my motto. I'm gonna do this one the right way and just in case I haven't mentioned it YOU RULE. I wish I could solve that cough for you. :(
