Jane, we've talked in the past on these boards & when I saw your post, I felt very bad for you. All the other suggestions sound good & I'd definitely ask for some BZD to tide you through. Whenever my depression rears its ugly head, I've learned to fall back on a BZD. My doctor knows that I don't overdo it (I don't think they're that liable to abuse but he's nervous about them) & is willing to give them to me for such times.
Generic & brand name are *supposed* to be chemically the same but enough people have experienced differences that there must be something to it. And yes, a raised dose could be the reason for how you feel. It can act strangely on some people.
And lastly, our bodies can be very puzzling at times. Some of us seem much more sensitive to external & internal changes & our mind & body reacts to them. Some of the causes are obvious (e.g.- lost a job, bad flu & being run down) but some are subtle & not so easily traced. Try the other suggestions given first but it may be possible that something subtle is affecting you. Even so, the other suggestions probably will help too.
Let us know how things go with you, please - I feel involved with those here who go down.
