hey link..
yeah, totally, I do not expect it to do anything anymore either, it's just that I want to really make sure, you know?
it was my doc's suspicion too that I was taking too much venlafaxine. I did then actually reduce it in steps of 75mg down to 375mg/d, and within relatively short time, I was feeling very very much worse.. couldn't get up before 2PM etc. that subsided when I went back up to 600. so, in a certain sense, the 600mg are what allows me to function half-decently, and at least go to university and stuff. it does also have an effect on depression as I perceive it, in terms of emotions etc., but it is very, very far away from giving me what I need, so I definitely have to find something else.
no problem for the question, here are my meds so far:
- Amitriptyline (always extended release, 300mg/d)
- Amitriptyline (300mg/d) + Nortriptyline (75mg/d)
- Venlafaxine (always XR, 375mg/d)+ Amitriptyline (150mg/d)
- Venlafaxine (600mg/d)
- Venlafaxine (600mg/d) + Amitriptyline (25mg/d) + Aripiprazole (5mg/d)
- Venlafaxine (600mg/d) + Mirtazapine (60mg/d)
- Venlafaxine (600mg/d) + Lithium (500mg/d)
- Venlafaxine (525mg/d) + Buprenorphine (9mg/d)I just copied and pasted it from an email I wrote recently, thats why there are the specifications of extended release etc.
