Well you could start by changing your username.... ;)
I only have one bit of advice & that is to try to tolerate each new med or combo the doc suggests.
I seem to be very good at telling docs something isn't working, even when I can start to feel it working, because I have this stupid belief that "more is better", so I have always pushed the docs to increase my doses, when I really didn't give the previous dose a fair trial.
Now I'm on 600mg venlafaxine & 225mg mirtazapine & not even my doc will go any higher and the worrying thing is that I think they're starting to poop out on me. So if that starts feeling very true, I'm sure it'll be a lot harder to change than if I was on a more reasonable dose... ;)
So I'm saying, stick at one dose for as long as your doc thinks is a fair time. And I wish you all the very best of luck. :)
