Hi fellow Babblers,
Hitting the skids again - shit! Just got my first SSI Disability rejection. I know how that game goes and I have a lawyer and we're going to wrangle the whole mess, but I'm feeling so down, worried about how I can survive with a periodic descent into hell - like who is going to hire me when I have to take weeks off at a time to go crazy? Plus my husband is out of work as well and the stinkin' bills don't stop coming. I'm just so worried, discouraged, burned out, and starting to wake at 4 am, cry alot. The symptoms are all there. Life is getting to me despite my healthy routines and I'm descending into that black bottomless pit. I don't want to go there. I'm scared of that place and once I'm there it takes so much out of me to crawl back out.I'm currently on 45 mg Remeron and 600 mg Lithium as augmentor, Klonopin 2-3 mg a day, Ambien for sleep. Called my pdoc and can't see him for another 3 weeks plus he just doesn't have any new ideas anyway. So, does anyone know about dosages of more than 45 mg Remeron? I heard that in Europe they typically go 60 mg and higher, but I haven't heard of anyone with any experience. Any other ideas on my med combo? It was working but the current worries and anxieties are breaking through. Any help would help. - Barbara
