Maybe I just don't fully appreciate the improvement I have gained.
> And you have taken Effexor before, presumably to no really great effect?
Several years ago, I combined Effexor and nortriptyline. I maintained a partial response. However, I was only taking 75mg of nortriptyline. Now that we have finally established 150mg as being the necessary dosage for nortriptyline, I would like to retry Effexor or perhaps Pristiq instead.

Yes.
> But not Pristiq?
I have seen a friend of mine respond robustly to Pristiq whom did not respond well to Effexor.
> I did see someone on Pristiq who seemed much improved, but only once and a long time ago. Pay no attention :)
I've lost my patience. For now, I would prefer to discontinue patience and start Pristiq.
This is not fun.

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
